Hey folks,
I was wondering if this was the right location to get some aesthetic tips. This is my bike as it was 10 months ago and the only thing that's changed is that I've added a rear brake as it's single speed. For some reason I don't like the way it looks.
Maybe it's the geometry; it is quite a tall frame, apparently 64cm. Maybe it's the blue colour scheme. When I first posted this pic GA2G PM'd me with some suggestions for making the bar grips, saddle and tyres tan. Maybe it's the silver cranks and pedals.
Can anyone point out what's specifically "off" about how my bike looks? Sorry for the photo, this is honestly the clearest open space in my minuscule flat. If you like I can take a pic in a more open, outdoor space tomorrow.
