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

I normally dislike all black bikes but that Aragon sure is one sweet bike. Very nicely done. Nice!

I agree with the hoods being too high (but it is kinda the style), I just really like how the bar tape is done, so Im hesitant to re-wrap them.

HOT, although I would remove the valve caps. I have to ask, was the photo shot inside an elevator?

Looks like it's probably a double-sided elevator, or maybe a deep elevator like used in hospitals for a whole bed to fit into.

Love the Argon...Argon sponsors our team so I'm hoping to be on one next year. I've heard nothing but good things from my teammates.

That fluorescent lighting reflected from metallic walls makes the bicycle pop so well. Not to say that it is not hot in an of itself, but the light and background really brings it to another level.

I do have to ask though, do you really find the hoods comfortable pointing down like that?

Bingo........And some people think that lighting and background have no correlation to how a bike looks or is being presented. A hot bike will look extra sizzling when it is being shot with a proper surrounding and lighting.

And the best part that an elevator is nowhere near the first thing that one would think of when talking about a good background and lighting for photography. Unconventional and awesome.

thanks for the comments. the hoods and bar angle have also been adjusted after the pic was taken. you are right. it is better slightly higher. let me see if i can take another pic this week.
