It is. Been that way for awhile, and I stupidly forgot to fix it when I re-wrapped the bars last year. Planning to go to a wider bar sometime this year; will correct it then.
I don't have the best track record of linking images hosted elsewhere on this forum. But, if this works... here's a slightly higher-res version:

I don't care for the crank either - the matte looking color, and too much solid and not enough see-through.
frame is very nice though. normal wheels are awesome too, thank you for not having ugly ass deep aero wheels.

Yeah, but how often do you pay attention to your speed? Other than a quick glance on occasion, I hardly even pay attention.

Not mine, but love this shot. Would look better with 32 deep wheels instead.

A local mechanic was selling this exact frameset & colorway, built up with Chorus & Rovals a few months back. Considered it at the time, but didn't pull the trigger. Seriously regretting it now.

Thanks man! And BTW, I just realized I know you. Looked back through the thread and recognized your bikes... I'm the guy that lives in your in-laws' neighborhood. 
Does he ride with any of the local clubs? Would I know him?

I knew who you were. I was trying to see if you'd figure it out. The guy lives in Downtown Atlanta so barely rides around here. He was briefly in our Team. Cool guy but you won't see him up here.

Do they just allow lower placement of the stem without steertube spacers?
Any performance, additional comfort or just extra weight vs the regular carbon handlebars?

I really do love your new TCR... It was pretty neat seeing the whole team on them at last Saturday's ride. It was like an invasion of the Giants, lol. You guys are an awesome group and such great ambassadors for the local scene.
And there's a special place in my heart for your Venge ViAS, what a lust-worthy bike!

When I still used the magnet, I'd put it on the spoke that was hidden behind the chainstay when the valve was at 6 o'clock, that way it was never in the photo.
