geometry doesn't look right for a lo pro, so I'd say it's just the photo

Thankyou, I'm not sure what MA2's are sorry :s I'm completely new to singlespeeds. This is literally my first bike since I was like 10 i think.
Without sounding too much like a complete retard could you help me out with getting it setup right?
cheers
if you can understand mdcc then go that way, if not, just raise the saddle to the point where when you sit on it, your feet touch the ground on tip-toes and with your feet flat they connect solidly with the pedal at the bottom of it's rotation (this isn't how you should pedal, it's just a rough measurement).
From an aesthetic point of view (though some would argue whether or not I'm qualified to give advice) I'd suggest with that colour scheme a gum walled tyre like http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/cycle/7/Panaracer_Pasela_TG_City_Tyre/5110000290/ a silver chain (lots of them around, depending on your ring width), silver pedals rather than white, you know about the saddle... And move the brake to the front, you don't want only a rear brake on a fixed, it's not legal and is dangerous if you're not experienced. Have fun

so many unconventional choices here. just curious, why the drop bars with the half tape and cross levers?
it's actually decisions made from previous experience, I've had a couple of lo pros before and always used aeros - I just found the position a bit off, stretching forward made it less comfortable keeping my head up to watch the road and takes away from the compact nature of the beast, which is what makes lo pros so quick and agile in the first place.
strange it may seem, my riding position is roughly the same to using aeros, my arms are just at a different angle, and straight as opposed to bent slightly. It's only half tape as i don't tend to put my hands anywhere else on the bars - they're 3t superleggero gimondi's so there isn't really any space to rest your hands elsewhere. And the cross levers because I don't really use brakes much (and again, tough to fit anything else to these bars), just wanted something unobtrusive for emergencies/getting hassled by police.

another dredge... but any chance of a repeat this year?

drop bar on a time trial frame? how low can you get??
I tried to fit the bar to the wheel but it wasn't working :)

Spent most of the day sorting the brake cabling out. Still a bit of work to do, but nearly there.
Apologies for the crap picture, taken on a phone in the kitchen due to shitty weather...
