Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Dodging brightens the image; burning darkens it.

This forum is now arguing about the edges of a picture.
I love it.
I think that bicycle in the center of the picture is actually probably fun to ride.
Id change the bars but i bet it hauls ass.

If you're printing from a negative, yea.

Dodging means to shade an area. Burning an area means to expose it to more light. That's all I said and I think you be a lil confoozed. The end result has nothing to do with the terms. They describe the process.

(I don't see bicycles anymore. I see fuel for hatred.)

I admire your drive to extend photographic purism into cycle forums dedicated to specific drive chain set ups.

I agree, although I would leave the bars and change the exposure.

it all depends on how you're compressing the mp3's.
if he's really worried about sound quality, he should move back to vinyl and get a sweet stereo setup.

mp3 is lossy. A lossless format would be the same, however.

Here's the current incarnation of my winter commuter:

(might change pic if I get access to better camera)



Of note:

On-One Il Pompino (gift from wife for my birthday!)
Nokian W106 700x35 (excellent in winter on compact snow and ice)
Avid BB7 Disc Brake (again excellent when snow/ice starts to stick to everything including bike)
Bontrager Grippy Tape (always grippy even when wet!)
Surly Dingle, 17t/19t (for those days when conditions change while at work, my derailleur is a 15mm wrench)
Crank Bros. Smarty Pedals (were cheap, but I can tell these will die quickly)
NiteRider BlowTorch HID (people seem to take me a bit more seriously with the 40W of light)
Planet Bike SpeedEZ fenders (a little too small for tires, but do the job...)
Surly hubs laced to Salsa Delgado Cross rims (my first wheel build!)
