What about the tyre logo's not lining up with the valves?

It's good enough.

It's not against a white garage door either.

NapD,

I can sort a few things out eg. bar tape & valve/tyre alignment but I'm afraid that a white garage door as a background defeats me at the moment.

Serious stuff this!

As I said though, it's good enough for me!

Well I suppose if the President says it's good enough, it's good enough!

Thanks

Youv'e changed Napoleon, gone power mad!I tell thee. Handing out these badges like sweeties. I refer you to page one of this thread, good god, you need to get back to basics man.

These badges are earned. Rules is rules.

I must admit to having shed a few tears for the chap!

I'm not going to send my perfect OCP photo I have been preparing for months if the standards are this low. Talk to the hand, I'm with Supergoose.

Do I get a badge?


Full spec on main forum page

If not, I'll have to wait for a sunny day so I can take a pic outside...

As I officially have OCD (I have a letter from my psychiatrist to prove it) I have to say you are novices at this game. It's not OCD - it's CDO - the letters are in alphabetical order, as they should be.
I'm off to wash my hands... again

However, it's not OCD it's OCP...

Bugger, didn't move my chain down the cog in my Zurich thread!

First of all, too many spacers...

Also, what does the forum think of Campagnola, shimano and sram all on one bike.

Does it come across as a bit of a brand slag?

Will this do?



No white walls outside so it's a flash photo, the silver "dart" on the frame looks black in daylight. It's my only road bike so I need the visibility for commuting in the dark!

ETA: Oh and the bar tape is due to be replaced 'cos it's too dirty after the winter (still going to be red though, I want some red pedals too (possibly acid 2s if they are still available in red)

I don't have a white garage door, but the garage has white breeze-blocks .

I think the carpeted garage may have swung the jury

Let's start with the bad news

- antique cream wall; only white in house is on radiators and the contours makke the background confusing.
- intrusive door frame; but if bike is moved to the right it disappears off down the stairs.
- left valve caps on.

Bar that what is the verdict?

This is my bike. Very pleased with it I have ridden several 100 mile sportives with no discomfort at all very fast and good handling on fast downhill descents.

White garage door - check
valves and tyre labels aligned - check
no bottles - check
drive side showing - check
vague effort to tidy the photo on the PC - check
bike square on - check
cranks etc lined up - check
valves at the bottom - check
chain on big ring - oops - can i pretend it's a compact so the middle ring is the top one?
no pumps etc - oops

Guess I'll have to try again... :?

Crank arm not lined up right either

dmch2

Crank arm is lined up with the bottom tube, does it have to be with the chain stay?

dear oh dear oh dear oh dear, back to the back of the class for me with the dunce's hat on.

I should weed the drive as well...

OTOH my underwear drawer is impeccably OCDed

Chainstay or seat tube.

It's a good shot though, nice and sharp unlike the debacle on the cervelo above. Any chance the next one could be bigger?

dmch2

I thought it was rude to put big pictures on a forum? I guess not many people using 28.8 modems anymore...

http://hooperdave.files.wordpress.com/2010/09/trek-1024.jpg is bigger. Or there's a 10MP version if you really want it.

Nope, stick it on!
