>>1908273that bar setup with the rise, slight sweep, and hoods giving a decent forward position is actually galaxy brained.
those pedals are very cool although the platform size is not as big as modern offerings.
that frameset is tight, Univega steel with huge rake on the fork = win. I like the low profile classic color and logo , personally.
BUT
stem height is gay. if you must have it higher than the saddle, it doesn't need to be by nearly that much
this is assuming your saddle height and position is even right for your body, which I have my doubts
that fucking couch cushion you're sitting on is rubbing your soft bits and hindering your stroke from moving freely. saddle should be a perch that supports exactly two points of contact, the left and right assbone protrusions, and ideally shouldn't touch anything else
you aren't set up for touring or any racks for loads which makes the kickstand dead weight you're just carrying around. even with loaded riding, it's still dead weight as you can almost always lean the bike on something or just lay it down.
I like the bike anyway but I feel like you need some tough love to bring your build over the metaphorical finish line.
