There's something 'honeybadger' about this bike. It's badass! Hot!

Hoping to get out and get a proper picture soon. Yes, I'm aware of the Rule #48 violation. ISM recommends the rails be horizontal to just barely over, and it works. Scary fast!

Yeah yeah. I'm actually surprised how many I see out there... pros, not-so-much sos, time trials and road bikes. I have a Madone that came with a Bontrager torture device, and someone recommended I try an Adamo. I have two now.

Nice photo. Beats a garage door any day. Now I'm sure someone on here will critique the photo, but speaking as a professional photographer, I love the image. The front wheel is blown out and there's some things not perfect, but hey! It works. Nice shot. In fact, I'm not blown away with the bike, but the photo is good enough I'd say HOT! lol...

Just goes to show all those ignorant fools that photo set up has a lot to do with how the bike is overall perceived.

The bike is filled with explosive energy. Some seeps out from time to time!

The photo is hot, but judging the bike... its warm at best.

I favor the modern, carbon framesets of today but these two in particular are just two outstanding builds in general.

HOT n HOT.

I like sidewalks in retirement communities. :innocent:

Here is my sexy bike.

Yep, shooting about 10 feet into the shadow of a bridge or tunnel with a harsh sun will really give you some amazing light without flash. Really nice for portraits if you're looking for a gritty urban background. I might have tried shots at a couple different heights, because that blown out bit would be above the wheel from a bit higher. Still a great shot.

Agreed. That's a fine bike there too.

With that, you could go pretty much wherever you wanted.
One time, some old guy pulled up next to me at a light and asked why I didn't ride on the damn sidewalk. My reply was, "Because I'm not 12 and on a Huffy."

My reply of choice is "because I'm not walking"

Come on people...it's a side WALK

Ok, but in fairness, I used to always wonder the SAME thing. 'Why endanger yourselves on the road when there's a perfectly good sidewalk that NO ONE is using??" Then I started biking and figured out why after 1/2 block on the sidewalk. So, I don't blame them for thinking that. Perfectly reasonable if you've never ridden a road bike...

Usually a simple "It's illegal" and they get this dumb look on their face. Most people have no clue. It's deadly around here to ride on the sidewalk.

Iphone pic, before my ride last night up in the hills. Iron Point to Beatty in El Dorado Hills.
