Post zoomed in pics of your vintage bike or mounted components
Please post zoomed in pics of your vintage bike or components
or pics from a unique angle.
I looked for similar threads but did not see one.
I was just thinking of the artistic beauty of a vintage bike's mounted part(s), zoomed in or close ups or a unique angle
or partial area of the bike as opposed to the whole bike.
Please just ignore if you think this thread lame.
Don't get me wrong I love looking at pictures of complete vintage bikes and they are to me works of art.
But for example I was struck not only by the complete bike of a friend but the specific
way these metal Miyata bottles lined up and fit in on his wonderful vintage Miyata.
I guess the theme of this thread should be , " The beauty is in the details."
If you appreciate such pics please post away.
Thanks
