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:

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.

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

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

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