Nah man, you're not being pulled up on having cheap parts on your bike, though it sure as hell oughtn't be in porn for a myriad of reasons that you'll catch up on in due time.
You're getting stick for the fact that you have no foot retention on a fixed gear bike, your seatpost is in back to front, your saddle angle and bar angle are messed up, your brake cable is in bad shape an you've used a quill to a-head adaptor and an a-head stem on your threaded fork...
The paintjob though looks very nicely done, not my cup of tea but a few more closeups of that might be cool...
Equally I reckon it would look awesome if you went for some primer red rims and drops maybe, bit of a cafe racer/ hot rod look... Might be shite too though...
yeah, i agree with all the stuff thats wrong, fairly new to the whole fixed gear building thing. I did have cages on the pedals but took them off to put on my next project as am selling it at the mo and cba to buy new ones. currently thinking about my next custom frame paint job project at the mo.
