Many? I can think of just the one recently and because of this thread, its back. Awesome. So no, this thread only shows that "clever" is just as stupid as a troll.

I liked my term...satire. Much more positive toward Neal!

Too bad you don't remember when you were "clever" enough to have cut the pump pegs off your Cinelli Model B:

You mean the thread I did on April 1? Yeah, I remember. derp.

You're just sore because you take my preference for IGH hubs as a personal affront to your lifestyle. Go for a bike ride, FFS. :rolleyes:

Membership takes care of that as well.

:thumb: That's my one Christmas wish.

But I've been bad this year. :notamused:

I wish you'd get in the habit of re-posting all of the photos that are in the post you're replying to. I love to scroll.

I only do that if it's immediately above my post. :p

I thought it's worth recycling this post as I've been seeing several transgressions listed above still occurring. I'll highlight a few:

—Pics in full sun are almost always awful: Whoever told you to wait for that sunny day to take a good pic and then in full sunshine was wrong. Wait for a cloudy day or near sunrise/sunset or at least in the shade.
—The built-in mention function hasn’t worked for a long time. So if you do gugie and choose from the pop-up menu, the BFer will not get notified. However, if you ignore the pop up and do [MENTION=381793]gugie[/MENTION], they will. Still true, as far as I can tell.
—Out-of-focus closeups are always awful. Don’t post them; try again: I'll augment that to say excessive closeups are also awful, unless you're trying to make art. This isn't the place for that.
—BFers expressing excessive opinions are usually awful: Still true.

But you’re OK with BF’ers opining on excessive expressions, right?

This much is clear:
Excessive expressions = no bueno
Opining about excessive expressions = bueno

Doc, are you opining about opining on excessive expressions? Is that bueno? Discuss.

Please define. As written, this can mean someone having too many opinions.

Deja vu.

I get it. You can't define it. Not even the first time. Which is why you had to re-post your "rules."

our dear departed member Paul Brodek was a master of bike photography! His shots were usually on a shaded trail, with wonderfully scenic background, and shallow depth of field. He had kept them on Flickr.... but I've lost track of his account.

One of my own shots of a bike in a shaded area....

and a shot using the morning sun, coming in from the side...

I will say that the shade doesn't bring out the colors as well as direct sunlight.

Favorited.

Thank you.

Anytime, Paul was one of the greats, I got 2 of his frames, should have gotten more, spoke with him several times and in the end as well.

Quite a good guy, RIP.

Gotcha nlerner. Maybe this is a good place to show off my Merckx. It is without doubt the best bike ever produced and I don’t know why any bike would be made of anything other than Reynolds 653.

There seems to be some direct sunlight in that pic.

yeah. the lug detailing.
