It was raining and a friend needed some tools, went out anyways, rain stopped as I got near home so I stopped to take some close ups of the bike. I’d say the bike is cheap, it definitely came in cheap but I definitely spent an equal amount for new components. Though I did save some on my cages, they were too small for me, just twisted some wire over to hold another strap getting me double straps, works great, I’ve went up and down hills, had a couple sprints, no problem. Oh and I have to shill about the 3.25 ratio, it’s my magic ratio and to me it is perfect, makes this bike a some sort of rocket, takes me everywhere and I can keep up with just about everything, well almost. One more thing I’d like to mention is the frame size. Yes it is too small for me, but taking the stem down negative sure makes it feel fitting, the bars are still pretty low though. I do have dropbars which I hesitate to use all due to the frame, the bar gets so low that using the bullhorns feels just the same as me getting a fitting bike with dropbar, though it does hurt my back at times, I have gotten used to it.

Raise the stem. That saddle to bar drop is not good, at all. Especially because you have the seat all the way forward.
