Is it just me or is that stem installed way higher than the minimum insertion depth? Looks like I can see the top piece of the wedge peeking out over the headset.

Agreed, if that's a nitto jag, the min insertion line or what they call "III MAX HT III" would be at the tip of the end of the bar clamp. That's just a reflection however.

Today I finally got a freewheel for the Fuji (been single speeding on a 6-spd cogset up til now), put an Ideale and some creme tires on it. I still don't know about the tires. The back one is lumpy so maybe that's a sign to go back to black. Reckon it's time I remove that reflector and figure out my chainring situation. I'm thinking I'll put a bash guard on in place of big ring, maybe make my own bash guard by grinding teeth off an old wasted big ring.

It's a 6.9 SSL Project One paint Madone. RL rear wheel, Aeolus 7 from wheel, chop and flop Bontrager XXX lite bars, XXX lite stem. I've swapped out bars though. This was my other road bike, was playing around as I was switching group sets.

Your rear brake pad is seriously misaligned.

Been zipping around on my Centurion cruiser lately. I found this build to be very well suited for riding in my area.

I hope I didn't sound like a jerk, I'm just suggesting he adjust his brake pad to prevent wearing out prematurely. It's not exactly a trivial detail.

italian sub, everything on it, hot peppers (obviously), mayo and mustard. I'll confess it's not my usual meal but once an while a man needs a grinder.
(not to be confused with Grindr)
I was so close to using speedwich too.
