I like it like this, perfect on the nyc streets.
yes, the frame is a hair too large for me, hence the bar/saddle angle. But I make do for my coveted old SLX Bianchi. I went over bars once with a front so i'm a rear-brake head. it's for emergencies. sorry fixie devotees.
Cheers!

I see bullhorns, I upvote. Love the color choices.
I’ll be nice:
That’s an interesting saddle angle, please fix it
Bullhorns look weird with a nice quill stem like that.
You should put the brake in the front.
That frame is beautiful, nice.
Your saddle and your handlebars will both be more comfortable if they are roughly level. If they seem more comfortable this way then some other part of the fit is off (probably the reach).
And that brake will be more *far* more useful in front.

My first FG back in the day was a Red Bianchi conversion that had faded to pink. I ended up selling it to some guy on Craigslist who was in his 60-70’s. It had no brakes and I was genuinely concerned about his ability to ride the thing safely, in downtown Honolulu of all places.
It amazes me that any time someone goes over the bars, they never learn to properly brake, but instead just never ever use the front brakes ever again,
Just practice dude,,,, one failure and you give up?!?!??!
Never mind…. You’ll figure it out one day. But nonetheless, giving up after ONE failure is kinda weak….
