who cares if you can actually ride it or not. cut the tube and slam it. bike are for looking at...not riding.

+1, the red on the wheels doesn't belong. Keeping with the already loud theme, all white logos would look better. If at all possible, taking off everything except the "easton" decals would look better.

now get out of the sandbox or he'll take his dolly and go home.

frame is hot.

I must agree, too loud and overbearing. And even if it were possible to overlook that, I really don't get having a gold or whatever color chain that is...

for the record, i did say i liked the bike (i like loud bikes), but then he got pissy about it

I'd go black tape and black housing on the Fuji when it's time to change them. That will reduce the visual clutter a bit.

you guys are getting soft.

I like the cranks, chain, and bottle cages. Thats it.

Imagine that.

I like his camera almost as much as the Fuji. I'm also impressed with the sharpness of that Tamron lens.

I choked on my coffee for that one.

What's a Tampon lens?

dalava

It's by purpose so you won't know it's a Fuji bike

This is the only lens I haven't sold. For the $400 I paid for the lens, you can't beat the sharpness and durability of it. I'll never get rid of it.
The camera I've only had for about 2 months and I really like it. It's just a better version of the 5dc I was using.

you ow m a nw kyboard.

Good to know for future decisions. I just got a 24-105 (had to lose the 17-55 f/2.8 b/c of my new/old 1D3). I'm amazed at how sharp it is as well. Good to find a good copy of a good lens.

I also have an older Tamron 28-105 f/2.8 35mm lens for Nikons, handed down from my dad, that I use on Nikon DSLR's. The smaller CMOS sensor makes the effective focal length 42-158, but man it sure is nice to have f/2.8 available at full zoom. That was a $1K lens back in the 90's.

Tough to find a reasonably-priced FF lens with decent sharpness across the frame. I'll need to take some pics after wheelset, saddle and seatpost changes this spring - then you can behold the resolving powah of the TS-E 90!

rkwaki

I thought a Tampon lens was the one that took your picture from a female perspective...

And while we are talking about camera lenses I use a 2"->6" Image Amplifier Lens for my boudoire photos. Makes everything look impressive provided that we don't take pictures with a Tampon lens after...

Sweeeeet....

Actually WhyFi's TSE-90 would be a good choice, as it can have a miniaturizing effect on some parts, making the other parts appear larger. Maybe he should be the one out shopping for eye bleach before the shoot. Maybe we can use a filter adapter to mount the Tampon 28-75 backwards on there too...

wait, wtf is this thread about?

rkwaki

At this point it doesn't really matter, it's derailed...

cvall91

I use an antique kodak to take my pictures. Sucks that I ran out of magnesium powder and haven't been able to take any recent ones.

TDRILL

To me, normally flashy wheels can get too billboardy and drown out the bike, but this is one of the very few times where the wheels aren't loud enough for the frame

Try grinding up an unused tamron and see if that works.

rkwaki

Used would be high in iron not magnesium...


K, that's all, no more....
