Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Yeap, it's so when he switches to drops or risers, he uses the cx lever (cable to TT lever gone )

Is it that the stem is high and long? I guess the stem/bars look a little funny.

i would say that maybe it's just the bike is too small, but i have my stem raised for longer rides.

saddle is ugly as hell, but that's about all i can pick on that bike. fix bar angle and throw on black champs and a less lumpy looking saddle and it's a winner

mostly jackass coz i can't get a nagasawa

Look at the length and jacked height of the stem and the reach they're still trying achieve by tilting their bars out.
Now look that the stem and the saddle are at equal heights.
Jackass owner. Bike has plenty of potential for someone that it fits.
It clearly doesnt fit the owner unless they're like a cave troll or something.

I know many kids buy NJS frames they like based on looks and not that it fits them.
Probably the case here. Either that or they just dont know how to set it up.
SOMETHING bad is in their brain if they put that saddle on anything, especially a Nagasawa.

short legs long as hell torso?

shouldn't be on that frame that's for sure. not as bad as that guy who posted his white bike with the brooks on the seat post flipped around (oh i didn't have enough time to make adjustments. like reassembling)

Apparently he either doesn't know how to raise a seat, or he just chose the wrong frame size. I vote for the former.

So ugly it makes Stevie Wonder weep.
