Still kicking.
Just to make Adriano cringe since I'm not going to have my track bike critiqued, so I'll post the DJ bike instead.

If you need that many spacers to be comfortable, it's too small. Your seat is a little forward of center, and the angle of the fork combined with the height of your stem makes the reach shorter than it should be, unless you have t-rex arms.
