May I critique the photo?

Nice overall, but next time...
...Level the horizon
...Expose a bit longer
...Shoot from a little lower


Nice ride.

Thanks, I tried to get as low as I could but I was in some long grass on a slight uphill, so short of laying down in prickles I couldn't get much lower, and I'll remember to level the horizon next time. I'm using a pretty junky Vivitar camera and don't know how to expose longer, I didn't even know if the picture came out because the screen on the back is small (1X3/4) and kinda low quality.

I also took these two, I know the last one is pretty bad though:

i know i have too many stickers. i am powder coating my bike white and purple soon though. would it look better faded white in front or purple?
and i like many colors but that bike is just too girly. i have a friend who rode his bike the next day all pink and did not take a part off to do that. all spray paint.

It would look better purple in the front. But you should fade the frame purple to white with purple bars and forks. That would look sweet.

yeah I can get all the paint free so no big deal

Let me know if they do a good job. I might send my frame forks and bars out there at some point.

What color are you thinking about getting them?

FitRider 921 06-16-07 11:31 AM

I'm thinking of a black and purple color scheme. I really want a FitEd frame.

That would look awesome. Purple in the front black in the back.

live4muzic2 06-16-07 11:51 AM

yeah, if you have them paint strip it first it will come out extremely good.

FitRider 921 06-16-07 12:42 PM

I was thinking Fit Ed frame, Animal Edwin grips, and Animal pedals, all in purple.

how do you ride a 19.5" top tube

FitRider 921 06-16-07 03:11 PM

That bike would be the end of me.

I believe that T-pott is 13, so I suspect he's not quite as tall as some of you.

East Hill

FitRider 921 06-16-07 03:15 PM

Chances are, he's still taller than me. :mad:

T-pott 06-16-07 04:21 PM

FitRider 921 06-16-07 09:23 PM

When are you getting your frame and stuff painted?

KinetikBiker 06-17-07 08:03 AM

The same colors they are now. Just powder coated so the paint is stronger. Bars and forks black, frame dark greenish.

You guys are short, i'm 6 foot.
