I'm not wild about the tires on it, I'd like wider gearing on the cassette and think 170mm cranks would work better...but I have it more or less how I want it. Good enough for a photo anyway:



















Better photo of my "Huffy" Obed drop bar build:

what's up with the bar/shifter angle in the first pic?

I've been playing with positions. I've been having a tough time finding a sweet spot.

Aaron, your bike looks okay but you should level your saddle a bit, raise the seat post a tad, drop the stem an inch or so, change the tires to what I ride and line up the label with the valve stem, slide your levers down the bars and angle them down a bit, remove the lights and water bottles, center the saddle on the seatpost, line your crank arm parallel to the chain stay...actually I think you should just post a picture of my bike instead of yours.

I think it's compare and contrast time! Inquiring minds want to know.

You forgot that I should also perfectly match and fix the scratches.

The angle is actually photo'ing a bit more severe than it actually is, but I do have it a bit unconventional right now. I'm working my way down with it.

I think it's the 175mm cranks that are making it tough...I had the same issue dialing in my 175mm crank Primato.
