The photoshop comments are correct. It was held it up with a small white box. The bike actually fell over once when a breeze hit because the box was so flexible! There's a bit of other PS too. I'm not sure if this is where anyone is going, but welcome to the oldest argument in photography "photographs should document reality". I've been a photographer myself for 8 or more years and this is a common theme brought up.
The Miche post is available in black and silver but I believe it's hard to find the silver one's with those cut outs (or maybe it's the black ones?). To be honest, it's actually got set back that I don't need. It might get replaced in the future.
