Bicycle Aesthetics and Photography - How to take photos of your bike

Cranks rotated so either a) the drive side it aligned up the downtube OR b) the non-driveside is aligned up the seat tube.

Altho, on some bikes I quite like the crank in line with the chain stay. Unconventional I know.

Thats interesting. I've always set the crank arms according to the logo on the arm i.e Shimano generally is written so I'd set the crank arm horizontal so the writing is round the right way, Old Campag had the shield logo so I set the crank with the shield vertical so the shield was right way up...I will change my ways.
