No tripod, but no flash and I stood real still. The black tape is VERY thin [3M from ebay product] - thinner than electrical tape; the silver on the wheels is much thicker - thicker than duct tape even. I got it at a hardware store and it was cheap; it is more visible, but still not as bad as spoke reflectors [shudder].

There is black tape on the chainstay, the seat tube, and the downtube, all of which are captured in this photo.

As for a weight limit, I think it would hold quite a bit within reason. It's not super large so don't really think you'd be able to overload it. Size wise, it's designed for a paper grocery sized bag.

Here's some photo's of the rack:

Just picked this up a couple of days ago.

My first FG. I think the guy/shop that built it up for me did a pretty good job. Rides nice and smooth . . and almost totally silent. I think this is a keeper.

KB

I'll be changing out the pedals as soon as I can decide on SPDs of Eggbeaters (now I remember why I never looked back after getting Speedplays on my road bike).

Also, I think the stem is a bit short. May be changing it out eventually as well. Everything else will probably remain the same.
