The microshift and thick slicks bring it back into reality. It is like seeing someone out of the corner of your eye and saying "woah" and then actually getting a proper look and you say "well not bad but not what I first saw". It needs more silver components, some polished bits and matching brakes. Also tan wall tan wall and tan wall, thick slicks are for the kids who just bought their first "fixie gear, bro". Also a silver polished headset or more gold details would be nice. Also no quick release on the seatpost.
It is a neat bike and probably is a great ride but just doesn't quite do it in the looks department for me but that doesn't matter so long as you enjoy it and ride the crap out of it.
