Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Looks like you are processing these photos in some sort of photo software: Cut the saturation / vibrance down a little! Either that or you have the orangest fence I've ever seen. Your bike is black/white so it won't affect that...

Good looking bike, though!
And I love that Orange independent. Maybe you need to shoot it in front of bianci's fence?

Yes they are photo processed. I purposely wanted it over saturated but maybe I did to much. I wanted it to really pop and grab you. Oh well, next time I will try something new. I really liked it at first, still do but agree that it may be a bit over the top saturation.

You also have to take into account that your monitor is probably not calibrated the same as the one the editing was done on.

What, people are critiquing photo post-processing in here? I think the C-dale pic against the fence looks awesome. Just looks like a stained fence to me.

I actually like the vignetting. And sorry, not trying to be too critical, just looked a little too cooked, imo. I also prefer vignetting and a little pop on saturation as well. Back to the bikes...

This is the hot or not thread. Its all about being critical lol, no offense taken here. I agree with you, a bit over saturated.

Hoping for new wheels sometime over the winter, think the new white seatpost looks a lot better than the black one that came stock.

Didn't get any feedback when I posted my admittedly poor photos a few pages back
First wheel set is Chris King R45 laced to Hed Belgium C2 Tubulars with Cx-ray's and Veloflex roubaix tires, second set is Fulcrum Racing 1 with Clement Strada 28c clinchers

Has potential for hotness. I like the bike and you have some good stuff on there, but the presentation of it A) doesn't do it justice B) I dont like your set up.

I dont like those bars and I dont like the position of the hoods. that really stands out to me. (I'm not speaking about if the position works for you, I'm talking about looks only) I dont know if it is the angle of the picture but that saddle looks goofy. I like the chris king wheels but would like to see them with all black tires.

Thought about posting before, but I didn't have a good pic of my bike and I didn't want to post another garage door photo. Well today I found a great place for a pic. It's a Seven Odonata with S&S couplers, Ultegra, FSA cockpit and seatpost, and Mavic Ksyrium SL SSC. Let er rip!
