    1) Clean the bike
    2) Install/Align tire logos and tube valves
    3) Flat saddle
    4) Slam stem (flat or negative rise only) (0.5 because that's a chode stem)
    5) Remove saddle bag, bottles, computer (but ok to keep the cages, computer holder, etc.)
    6) Chain in the big ring + smallest cog
    7) Drive-side only
    8) Drive-side crank either at 3 o'clock (horizontal) or in line with your chainstay
    9) Valves at 6 o'clock (pointing up) or hidden between fork/seatstays
    10) Hide skewers

    What's behind the chainring? I like the orange/blue combo.
    Saddle + pedal accents are nice.

    Ordinarily, this wouldn't be considered (not a road/tri bike or wall), but 8.5/10 to start off the year!

    Chain guard/catcher? Do you even need those anymore with modern narrow wide rings?

    I think he's referring to the tensioner/guide on the bottom of the chain. They help in keeping the chain on, plus shifting and chain suck/whip on a mtb.

    Damn, so close yet so far. Story of my life. Yes I like the Orange as well (definitely in for 2017 in the USA) :( and Kyle nailed the chain guide. I rode 15 miles through mud/crud and slush last weekend and she handled everything I threw at her. I'm a diehard for trainer miles in the winter, but it felt oh so good to hit the trails in January.

    Gave the old boy a scrub down after a rainy ride over the weekend and had to submit a BAAW before dragging it back out today.

    Insane saddle setback + BONER STEM = Frame is too small!

    Edit
    1) Clean the bike
    2) Install/Align tire logos and tube valves (nice, but align with the larger of the 2 logos next time)
    3) Flat saddle
    4) Slam stem (flat or negative rise only)
    5) Remove saddle bag, bottles, computer (but ok to keep the cages, computer holder, etc.)
    6) Chain in the big ring + smallest cog
    7) Drive-side only
    8) Drive-side crank either at 3 o'clock (horizontal) or in line with your chainstay
    9) Valves at 6 o'clock (pointing up) or hidden between fork/seatstays
    10) Hide skewers

    Also - what happened to your crank?

    No, the stem and saddle setback is that bad.

    I'll take a 9 in the first attempt. Bought this frame with zero riding experience, so totally possible that it's the wrong size.

    Not sure about the crank. Noticed it a while back and think it might just be rub from shoes while pedaling?

    "Letter of the law vs spirit of the law" debate. I didn't actually award the 9, as it's still a crap setup.

    Your crown is coming off in 5 months. Edit: 4 months, or as soon as I learn to count.

    Nope. Bike looks clean and those valves are perfectly aligned with the tire logos. At least a 2.

    Also, no coffee in picture.

    What do I gotta do to get a thumbs down around here ? If a hybrid bike that had a kickstand and reflectors Doesn't do it, then I guess nothing will.

    @iamuwere here, RXC is easier on the eyes. Try not to cringe over the bags and mirror. @Evan sorry for derailing your thread in the quest for more BFs for @mamacheetah
