You are, for lack of better words, preaching to your own choir here bikes direct dude.
The I need Photo help was more of a self degrading attempt at humor; sorry
Somethings I can be funny in person; but anything I try to write that is funny is an epic fail [as my kids say]

But the truth is - actually even guy graphics guy and everyone I have ever seen has issues with plated bikes -- plated bikes can look really great in person - and then kinda boring in person

But my point is more - my pictures are even worse than most

And actually I would like tips that might get super good pictures of plated [especially black chrome] -- if I could bring photos to people via intenet that truing represented polished aluminum, Chrome, Copper, or Black Chrome - I would greatly increase hpw many I purchase. [by the way, same is about true of high grade metallics]

Sorry; for the poor attempt at humor
