Also, you should really look into getting some "shift" keys for your keyboard. At least one.

Fantastic. See new guy, this is some of the hazing to endure. It's just one more way to weed out the soft ones. Our hazing is a defense mechanism. We don't like morons, so we haze the hell out of anyone new to make sure they aren't morons. It's like any other social situation.

I hate the red tires, too, esp with the orange frame. Came with the wheels, though, and too cheap to buy different ones just for the aesthetics ;-)

Thanks for looking and commenting!

tall frame will always look funky, tape saddle mismatch, frame stickers, multi bcd chainring, wheel mismatch, yellow rim, spoke cards, front spoke bucket, ought to have three more bottle cages inside the main "triangle"

tape saddle mismatch, raise stem and rotate bars down, fork too shiny, add bottle bosses and cable guides because i know you can

http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/...010_131608.jpg
lose valve caps, needs foot retention, run rear brake housing on left of top tube, meh on saddle, meh on ring guard
epicly awesome brifteresqe setup/10

memo: my expectations increase with conspicuity, quid spent, and quid spent conspicuously.

TitoJones 10-10-11 11:24 PM

I'm looking for more of a feedback of my riding position/size than what you don't like, but I'll at least say-

Get end levers, frame branding, go clipless.
http://i52.tinypic.com/2v8lkw3.jpg

I'm 6'4" and the frame is a 59cm

Haha I ride bikes more than I careless about cars. I don't even have a roof rack on my car, I just ride to where i want to go. If I'm lazy I'll stuff it in the back of my car and drive to a place where we would meet and ride.

Adriano makes me want to remove all the decals and leave it blank.

urgently get end levers, less importantly go clipless and desticker if it suits you
that frame branding isnt bad, but it is flashy to thieves
super stock/10
