How does this look on me?

Hi everyone.
I haven't ridden a road/racing bike before, only much more upright cruising/city bikes.
Does this bike and the position look correct or is it too small or too big?
Also, if i stand on the ground wit the bike between my legs, the horizontal tube is about an inch below my crotch.

OMG

Oh dio mio

Gimp mask looks ace

Glad you like it Coops. I can send you one if you'd like?

I have a very big head. But ok, I'm game.

its too big

can we get a @pipwish

Doesn’t look too bad, it’ll be quite old school geometry so not designed to run with a massively long seat post or stem, gimp mask is an unfortunate look. Maybe drop the stem and definitely rotate the bars down from chopper central angles to a more normal angle. Olmos are nice bikes

You got to see where you're going bro.
Also frame's too big imo, reach looks too long.

lol, not a balaclava, just MS Paint.

whats that?

Yeah the handlebar angles are a bit high.
Wouldn't dropping the stem down just make me lean over much more?

would a shorter (i dont mean higher/lower) stem make it much better?

Needs moar

The bars are way to rotated, which is a sure sign of compensating for a reach that's too long.
I would start by fitting some Nitto M104 AA handlebars, they are short reach and would offer a higher hood position than a traditional drop.

Saddle looks like it's all the way back too?

Yeah, need to sort out the rotation of the handle bars tonight.

Oh yeah? Ill post a pic of the bike. Its just such a cool bike, just wondering if i can make it fit better without changing too much of the original stuff? I mean, maybe push seat forwards a bit and shorter stem?

this is the bike

(discovered the hard way) A nice bike that doesn't fit is not a nice bike anymore after a few miles!
