The reds do not match. And the no matching dummy brake lever. This should be on the track too

Your cog is slipping.
Then it belongs in the jackass thread.

Fresh Garbage
FWIW I keep giving bull horns a try but I just cant ever find myself really comfortable riding with them. My Syntace Stratos have been the best so far but still not 100% agreeable with my hands.

the allure of some deep carbon rims is very strong, but I'm saving money for a road bike to try and get a bit more serious. I have a TT bar setup just haven't got around to putting it on, there is a time trial around where I live with a fixed gear category I would love to try out once it starts back up again.

clipless pedals, black bartape, bullhorns with a deeper drop, bar end brake lever, lose the bottle cage, grind off the cable guides, straight forks, Continental GP 4000s tires 23c, that stem looks like a duck bill..I dunno..I love the new chainring.
...that i rebuilt. know am gonna catch hell over it but i love my stem & 1/2 clips so can't bring myself to change those & i do have a thing for splashy tape. i'm happy with it & don't think it looks too bad now...

He's not going to hear you. He was banned months ago.

Woah, that saddle is way back there.
and
Stem too high.
Bars are rotated forward a bit.
Needs silver cable housing.
(I think black wheels should stay, though. Well actually silver hubs would be nice, but black rims are good.)

waiting on bullhorns, i used a level for the bars its the picture plus i dont like riding on the tops of hoods and that saddle is set back a bit far ill try sliding it forward a bit. its funny you mention the cable housing as it originally had white housing but was cracked and old.
