Looks amazing. Deserves better pics.

OG logo works well. C'mon, show us more.

Was just checking you out after your comment on my 40-hole thread. That look is fantastic and to my ancient, and jaundiced eyes, looks fabulous as it could be classic steer with roundish tubes.

I have a lengthy story about my 40-hole rims but I won't bore you with it.

This will bump up a lovely thread.

I'm always shit at taking nice pics of the bike but thought this one merited sharing! Top of the Luz Ardiden

Tips for good pictures of bikes.
1.Always have the bike against a background whether indoors or outside. Remember the bike is so much space and you want/need to draw attention to the bike not to it's spatial location. If you do it indoors remember it's the bike not your kitchen or bedroom that people are interested in so use a blanket/sheet as a backdrop.

1. When taking pictures outside, if you use a wall ad backdrop make sure that you don't get a frame shadow because of the sun so you look as if there are two bikes.

2. Drive side only is required.

3. Professional photographers always have bike in big ring and smallest sprocket it makes things look good.

Now to the important bit, your picture looks good and you are clearly using the bike properly. Chapeau!
