That is the kind of weather I like. I spend a lot of time in Austria and we regularly ride in 40 degrees. It is what I love
Sorry had to say it.
I weigh a lean 58kg, plus about 10kg for the bike as it stands right now. Not sure I can lose anymore on my side
Good quality photos also.
Me too, funny how I'd never even contemplate putting the bike smack bang middle of the shot.

M3TA, what camera do you use?
Rule of thirds, a basic principle of photography
I rarely put my subjects in the center of the frame unless I am shooting a portrait.
Exactly. Equipment is nothing special, Canon 450D + 50mm f/1.8
Anyway, rant over, nice bike!
Yup. I agree on all points...the advent of digital photography has made it far too easy for any schmuck to pick up a multi thousand dollar DSLR and fire away like a machinegun at 24fps...photography is an art form, and it should be treated as such! I'm lucky to have learned how to shoot on film (where every shot must count) before picking up a digital camera

Why in the world you decided to put the dreadful Ultegra 6700 :shock: :shock: ??
Canyon Spectral 8.9
Probably because it's a good groupset available at a good price.
Dreadful?
