Just Ride It custom fixed speed, Swanston St, Melbourne

I really wonder sometimes why some people just don't buy a bigger frame.... either that or it was a hand me down from a much shorter biker or the current owner is borderline sadomasochistic.

Frame sizing rant over. Love the improvised handlebar tape I gather as a ode to the Melbourne University Cycling Club [link], not so much the gold headset spacers. Also what is with the $5 plastic pedals? Component rant over.

Excessive use of brake pad spacers and loving it with the rims doing all the bling work required.

You know you are taking stealth to the extreme when you gaffer tape the badge on the headstem and headtube. I'm kind of surprised he/she didn't spray paint the saddle.... or maybe Brooks just need to comeout with a black leather version.
