Long legs and short body. Problem easily solved. Biggie Smalls (?) adding a bit of colour and flare to the ensemble.

Another one from the archives back in 2012, that I never got around to posting.

Those clincher bolts on the headstem better be tight as with no compression bolt that thing is a ticking time bomb let alone a source of impalement if they came a cropper. I like the almost all blue fit out even including the tires.

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.
