Not egregious, but something about that stem/stack/bar combo looks off to me

trying too hard to match the spacer color to the paint color and failing, leading to an uncanny stack valley?

oh that’s definitely it. Also the not-quite-matching valve stems

Also the upper spacers/cap have a larger diameter than the stem. A literal sore thumb.

The stems with a bit of steerer look off with spacers under them. A black or silver hs would probably look better, but the almost color match may not be as noticeable in the real world.

how is it possible to end up with this man’s body? is it photoshopped? how is his forearm comparatively tiny?

Drugs?
