Indeed - I knew I should have just taken a new picture of it, but didn't because I've been riding it as a ghetto single-speed while building up stuff to rebuild it.
I'd fitted the seat in that picture, but not the bars - they're about 1.5-2.5 inches higher now. I'm not certain that the bike's a perfect fit (at ~5'7-8" w/ a 30 inch inseam I think I'd be better off with a 52), but it's comfortable enough for me to have no major complaints about fit (the cheap CODA saddle that's on it is another story...).
Good eye though
