I love my bike!

It didn't cost a fortune compared to some and I now have it exactly how I want it after upgrading a few bits.

Washed, stripped a few bits, polished, adjusted and added my name stickers (not in the right place due to the design but I like them) and its ready for my next ride!

Really can't see me needing anything else for a good while now!

You're learning about photographing bikes I see, just need the wheel decals a little straighter and position it central in the door frame

Clipless pedals should only be photographed if completely horizontal, not hanging limply. A sexy bike pic should have the same gearing as a sexy lady pic, big at the front, small at the rear, although you have small at the front and big at the rear, which I quite like personally!

yeah lovely looking bike ,the only thing is i cant uderstand why specialized do the curved top tube (which i think looks great)and then go and ruin it by running an exposed straight line of brake cable
if only it had integral cable routing i think they would have it pretty much spot on

How do you get them hanging straight when they sit like that?

I did have your words ringing in my ears as I was kneeling down to take the photo, I actually got up, levelled the cranks a little and lined up the wheels!

Missed the bit about big ring tho! It was only in that gear because I had it on the little ring at the front because believe it or not I polished the lot!

I agree! It gets in the way on bike stands too.

Even the factory didn't get the decals straight. The valve is over the C in Racing on the back wheel, yet it's over the A on the front!!! OMFG!!!

Only the real pro's know that trick!

Nice bike though; it looks fast! What bottle cages have you got there, they are pretty sweet.

Funny that, it is fast on the downhills but something's up with it, it's rubbish at up hills...must take it into the shop!

The cages are the standard spec ones, just plastic not carbon!

It's probably something to do with not having enough spokes. Ask them to take a look at that.

lovely bike, that colour just pops. I look at them all the time in my LBS. Really cool
