Talking Bike Porn! - 11-14-2007, 09:16 AM


I took some pics of my bike and then my buddy liked them so much he wanted me to take pics of his. Here's a few pics from both shoots. I guess you have to be into bikes to appreciate them so if you're not, feel free to ignore this post.
I want to reshoot the first two (mine) because there are a couple little things that are bugging me.
Comments welcome, as always.

Nice!

Makes my 8 year old Kestrel KM-40 look, well, old.

Love the Durace components and the King head set. That's what I have on my tri bike.

I agree on the first two. Pedal position?

My goodness. I remember when MOOTS was a mountain bike builder in Steamboat Springs, CO. Or am I thinking of somebody different?

Nice toys. I still prefer my Co-Motion Americano for going places and taking all my stuff with me.

That and angle of the handlebars. But i was using the pedals to support the bike on a small box (thank you photoshop) so not sure I can do much about that unless i use fishing line or some other way of supporting the bike. But i did get some new pedals which are silver and thinner so they might not stick out so much visually.

I think that's them. They make high end titanium frames.

Those Co-Motions are pretty cool!
I use my Rivendell Atlantis for commuting and stuff.
The Felt is my new weekend ride for really putting on the miles.

The perfect pair of bikes: An SUV and a Porsche in car terms.

The Americano is like the Chevy Suburban of bikes. It will haul more than I can pedal.
