i like the looks of the red rims on a white bike….i would suggest removing the stickers though. put the rim under hot water for 30 seconds and it will peel right off.
fix your saddle angle, its supposed to be parallel to the ground. at least thats what ive been told by bike mechanics.
get some handlebar tape. riding without it is not smart. there are no positives to riding without it, other than perhaps you are going for hipster + points.
i would chop a few inches off the bars too, but that is just me. i would also make the bars parallel to the to tube…again, just me.
you have the makings of a cool bike. ive always liked white/red/black as a color combo.
Love the colour combo, but as already remarked on, the set up looks a bit uncomfortable. Take it for a ride round the block with a couple of Allen keys and a spanner and have a tinker. Sometimes very small adjustments can make a huge difference to the feel of a bike.
Non driveside photo, slippery bars at funky angle,
funky saddle at funky angle, wheel stickers. Cool colors but these things need fixing to be legitimate. Cheers.

hipster alert.seat and bar unwrapped show not a clue to ridability.

I like the color of the Oxblood or Cranberry red. You may need a top tube pad if you slide off the saddle at that angle.

What’s your definition of legit? It can’t mean comfortable to ride.

If this is your mistress, I’d hate to see your wife!
