    White garages are pretty ugly. There are some other backdrops to choose from.

    What's the consensus on crank arms?

    I think they look better when in line with the chainstay not the steatpost.

    The Ksyriums suit the bike nicely. Do Focus still sponsor a pro team They were the bikes for Milram weren't they?

    Ok some mistakes.......

    Not against a garage door. Orange vittoria rubino's are history and new all black tyres are fitted, new photos soon. Jet washing garage door soon, so next post will be OCP compliant.

    The valve holes are lined up with the tyre labels, but the rims are so deep that I take the valve extender off the valve and cover the hole with a little bit of carbon tape so no valves are visible above the rim.

    Ultegra compact groupset, 50-34 and 11-23.
    60mm fuerte Bici all carbon clinchers.

    FSA 120mm stem.
    105 pedals.
    Elite bottle cages.

    Only just spotted this thread, as a photographer it's just up my street.

    This shot is ok - but it you'd moved about 10 yards to the right so the angle bike to camera was the same , but from the front rather than it's bum.... then i'd give it 10 out of 10 :D

    Here we go this is my new summer ride. However I have to admit and say I'm not over keen on the white boring back grounds, I much prefer them in natural surroundings.

    lol.

    This was my effort. But I think the 9000 cranks look better w/ pedal at 3 O'Clock.
