Herr Commondant has spoken.

Don't you ever have any time off?

I agree NapoleonD. Some people just do not get the topic. This is just a photo of a bike. It has no place here.

No could, Pinno. That non drive side pedal isn't quite flat.

pinno

Is this better Bompy?

bompington

Hard to tell, but isn't there a cap on the front tyre valve? Big fail.

Now your just being like the Commondant. :roll:

Where is he anyway - getting therapy?

So close

Bottles
Computer
Crank arm angle
Lazy attempt at 6 o'clock valves
Busy background

pinno

Is that the plug in on the wall to charge the internal motor?

Might be a better attempt at a later date, but this will have to do for now

napoleond

You can see on the look on the man's face in the background that he's thinking ''bottles, light, crank arm not lined up, wheels not lined up, red bits hurting eyes''

step83

Had to choose, valve caps or logos. Rim logos are etched so I cant even shuffle them. Logos won out.

Yet you still fecked up with the chain being in the small ring.

You're getting rather fussy and cranky in your old age NapD.

Ill see about sorting that then, may see if I can find a dark background for the bike.

Shut it Pinno. This is serious stuff.

Being "fussy" is the whole point of this topic. You are needed NapD to keep the standards up. This topic has been going to the dogs recently. If you just want a photo of your bike on the forum there is another section for you.

(1.st time poster)

So I Google "how to take a correct bike picture" and this forumthread appear, I immediately decide to contribute. 5 days later I am able to actually post this (the time it took to approve my account..)

Sorry about the sloppy background:



There are many bikes like this bike, but this bike is mine.

pinno

The picture policeman will be on his way soon...

allaboutthebike

Bring it

napoleond

I'll let this poorly shot kooky-saddle-angled spacer-fest through without comment.

pinno

His first post too, poor basket. Looks like it's furnished with Campag, which is good enough for me.

Evening Nap. Don't you think you should leave your job at the door and get all hippy laid back in the evenings?
How about touting on some confiscated 'herbs'?

napoleond

Nah, looks like 105 with an FSA chainset.

That hippy bike is lovely x

pinno

I think you're right about the 105, damn heathen.

I got you a girl to go with the bike:

How does it look like 105?

It´s setup with Ultegra brake and gear leavers, Ultegra front and rear shifters, FSA crank and brakes.

It´s also been adjusted to my height of 189 cm, I like the agressive ride pos.

napoleond

Because the picture is fuzzy. It looks like generic Shimano. 105 is darker than ultegra and it looks dark in the picture hence I assumed 105.
You can have an aggressive position without the saddle pointing down.

I do love it when the master speaks. There doesn't seem to be a white garage door for bloody miles around our way otherwise I reckon I could have a good crack at this - I've studied it all hard enough, I reckon I could be a contender.
I'll improvise when I get chance.
