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

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

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.

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.

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.
