I love it when things get spicy in the HrN thread.

Upon incorporating some of your comments, I am re-posting my 2003 Litespeed Arenberg. I completed the Ritchey WCS set by replacing my 70mm stem with a 90mm, which is the longest I can use comfortably. I also centered the saddle over the seat post better and I adjusted the handlebars. I am curious to see how the wheels would look blacked out, so if there are any PS ninjas out there, can I get an assist? Thanks!

Hopefully you made the changes you've outlined to improve the fit of the bike rather than succumb to the often moronic comments in this thread.

70mm stem with a 90mm
Don't sacrifice comfort for style. It's idiotic.

Given the lack of logos on the frame, the wheels don't bother me. Go. Figure.

bad presentation of the bike. The shadows against the wall are distracting. Wheels that have a different color spoke like this, I like to see them staged so they are lined up. Not a DEAL breaker with a SUPER hot bike I guess, but I find it distracting. A picture taken below the top tube looking up is the worst way to present a bike and show it off IMO.
Sorry, Not.

come on guys you are slacking. Everyone forgot about the spacers under the stem. The ***** stem is the wrong angle as well, IMO. The valve stems are not properly staged. and above all it is not all flat black and carbon.

I wouldn't ride a road bicycle with a stem shorter than 110mm if I can avoid it, especially if combined with a short reach handlebar, especially on a large frame. Road bicycles tend to handle and track better with more weight over the front wheel, and they tend to look better with a stem proportional to frame size.
