top notch account, @bianchi10 , do you take most of your on-the-bike pics with your phone?

Thank you. I use a gopro4 silver on the bike. Off the bike, I use my DSLR.

The guy at the shop says I should get these cages.

I dunno - they seem pretty pricey.

Blackburn Cambers are awesome too. Amazon.com : Blackburn Camber CF Carbon Fiber Bottle Cage (Gloss Black) : Bike Water Bottle Cages : Sports & Outdoors

WoW, very cool.. Is it paint or tape?

mile2424 02-24-16 03:04 PM

Just tape right now

Thats an awesome idea... Did you do it? Looks like professional pinstripe work.

mile2424 02-24-16 03:28 PM

Thanks! Ya I did it. Cut with scissors and placed by hand so it's pretty tedious. But I like being able to design on the go and kinda free form. Some plotter cutting designs could work, but don't think you can achieve the same unique free form without laying the material on the shapes of the frame and designing as you go.

Very creative and very well done. Your artistic talents far exceed mine. I am afraid I would end up with a spaghetti look...

Nice, I just got a GoPro a couple weeks ago. still figuring out how exactly I'd like to mount it for capturing my rides.

Put it on Burst mode (I do 1 photo/sec). It leaves you with a lot of photos to sort through, but your chances of getting a crisp in-focus shot is much better. Hit the shutter button to turn it on and move your hand around to get the angle desired. Hit shutter button again to stop shooting.

Hmm. As interesting as they are, the last two get nots. They're too clearly meant for someone else.

Love it! Can you tell me the size and your saddle height? I have short legs and aesthetic is the only thing that holds me back from the CAAD12. But this build actually looks lovely.

Disagree, the Vias stem/bar thing looks weird but the art he's making out of the reflective tape more than makes up for it. Incredibly unique and interesting, IMO.

I agree about the tape work. Its beyond hot. Im quite impressed with it. I cant un-see the bike that it has been applied too, though.

Thanks! It's a 48cm and I think the saddle height is somewhere around 68cm but I would have to get out a tape measure. I have really short legs (28" cycling inseam) and I was also worried about the aesthetic but it worked out. Having a saddle with a low stack height really helps the look of the bike.

Hah. I Have exactly the same measurements. Thanks for sharing. I think it looks great. If you ever measure the saddle height (top of saddle / mid of bb), let me know. Thanks to you the caad12 back on my list.

It's a Specialized Toupe 143mm. Most comfortable saddle I've ridden on (looks good too).

Cool, huge thanks for the tips man. If I have any other questions I'll hit you up on IG since I follow you there now. :o
