Sorry - I was just yanking your chain a little. As this thread has gone on we sort of came up with some rules to photograph the bike. Chain needs to be in the big chain ring (some say big in front, small in back), crank arm has to be aligned with chain stay, bike has to be against even background (garage door), ect...
Thanks all for the comments on the Schwinn! I'll be changing out the stem very, very soon! Looking forward to riding her as she was in the shop for 1-1/2 week to get the right shifter replaced under warranty.

Hot Orbea. Love the color combo especially with the 3T Ergonova handlebars. 14.8 lbs? What year & size is it? Yours is definitely lighter than mine. Only one water bottle cage though? The wheels are fine but some carbons wouldn't hurt.

^i think its hot.
if you end up taking more pictures of the bike you should take them on a day when its kind of cloudy out (or sunny but the bike is in complete shade). Then adjust the white balance on the camera accordingly (usually signified as an icon for sunny/shade/cloudy/indoor lighting). Then prop the bike up against a monotone background (WHITE GARAGE DOOR for example) with about 5-10 feet of space between the background and bike.
that way you get that bike's colors to jump out and that nice shallower depth of focus (focus primarily on the bike and slightly blurry background) to further accentuate the bike.

It's a great bike but a not from me. Thomson set back posts just suck aesthetically for me - although their non set back post is one of my faves. Aesthetically I also don't like the stack of spacers under the stem.

Haha yes I agree about the stem. It's one of those things that was there when I bought the bike (2-3 years ago) and is too much of a hassle to remove/replace. I'll wait til the bar tape needs replacing before swapping out the stem.
