    ^^ Individually there's nothing wrong with any of those components, it's just together, on that bike, they kinda don't gel and seem a bit outta place (just my opinion).

    Basically, it looks from the size of the frame and the height of the saddle, that you're not too tall, and if so, the reach and drop of the stem and bars is a bit extreme (unless you have gorilla arms!), either that or the reach is fine but you need to put your saddle up and still too much drop.
    Looks very uncomfortable.
    If the stem was -23 to -17deg or even -10deg and a another 20-30mm shorter and the bars at a better level, it would look a lot more ridable.
    I'm 6'2" and I ride with a -10deg 100mm stem and some 20mm drop Syntace Stratos 200 pursuit bars that pull back towards the rider on the drop, and that felt a bit long for me at first, but the drop from saddle to the end of bars on yours looks to be about 200mm or more!
    Personally, I've never liked Brooks saddles, they can look ok on a steel framed bike, but think they just look wrong on a modern oversized alu frames, you wants something more HHSB like a Fizik Arione or stripped beck SLR.

    Like I said, this is all just my opinion only and I fully welcome you to ignore everything I say! ;P
    Do what works for you.
    Its mostly only about the riding position looking outta place and uncomfortable than the components, cause the rest is sweet! I was looking to buy a Fuji Track Pro not to long ago myself, but got offered a Omnium at an amazing price and I want your wheels!

    Plus, a little hint, don't post your own bike in the porn thread, it's seen as a big no-no!

    thanks for the input man! really helps! ill take a look at those saddles
