CAPO KILLING IT UP IN HERE.
As well as the pista.

Welcome to my fleet.

The bike that first got me into single speed/fixed gear.

Old Rattle-can painted single speed Fuji Conversion. Put on a 16t freewheel and re-dished the wheel myself. Simple quick conversion on my part but still needs a rear brake.



My new baby.

53cm BikeIsland Wheat Frame. I built, trued, and tensioned the rear wheel up myself. First wheel build ever. And yes, I know the blue tires do not match the bike. I just used that parts that I already had on hand but I don't know it's kind of growing on me.



My all-around campus beater with a special visitor.

I agree wholeheartedly.

Thanks Costello & Gyeswho! Well, after months of smuggling parts into the basement, and putting things together while he was out - he caught me! But he loves it! Test ride was great!

I figure I will finish it with a plain white turbo or rolls saddle!

Bump for this affinity. Very nice. Thats not the affinity fork though is it?

Shields at Davis?

My Langster Boston. 4 days old. I love it. It has a decent weight to it. Its also really fast. Flipped the wheel over to fixed after 2 days. Im learning pretty fast. I was going to build a fixie but I got a great deal on this. The bike shop was nice enough to swap the 110mm stem for a 75mm. I could of just swapped the bars but I think the bars make this bike. I have plans for pedals, tires, new seat and tape on the bars.

Was gonna ask the same thing haha

It could be a real photo using a tilt-shift lens. It's hard for me to tell.


More tilt-shift:

then it's a poorly executed one. the last thing tilt shift lenses are good for is taking pictures of flat objects parallel to the picture frame.

and i think it is because i got a sarcastic pm that pointed to that direction.

Jcrew689

Yup, that's Shields library all right.

Here's a closer view of Biker Squirrel! Haha

Dannihilator

Sorry, had to do it.

Jcrew689

HAHAHA thank you! I really wanted to that too but I don't have any program to do that with.

Patricky

thanks, and no its not. i bought it used with this fork, i want the stock one

Dustintendo

what do you guys think?

Gyeswho

looks good, but you need some better light on her

Hard to say. That isn't even bokeh.
One can only assume it is because it is much easier to google 'photoshop fake tilt-shift' and apply a plug-in than to learn how to use a camera properly.

To the untrained viewer's eye, there is no difference.

Compare film to digital and you will open an entirely different can of worms.

I don't care what anyone says, you cannot replicate a great print from a large negative with a computer.
All of the top magazine photographers still use med./large format slide film.

worst tape job ever.

Live2Die

at least it went the correct direction...

Geordi Laforge

I think that squirrel could have done a better job.

Ditch the blue and go for skin walls. not that my opinion matters
