Macro pictures of pretty bike parts

[chriskaiser]

Post any here if you would like to...

Preferably pictures of your own bike, the little details that make it special.

I love how the letters of my decals pop out, the original ones didn't but the frame was restored and they made special ones for it :drool: :drool:

very nice. I'd like to see a pic of your whole bike too. What paint is that? Looks like a bronze-gold something.

The only thing remotely interesting about my bike is my new post and saddle...

Mr. Kaiser, very nice bike you have.

Here's a couple of pics I took this evening. Very low light in the room but after goofing a little in photo shop, you get the picture - no pun intended...

CK, I thought your Benotto was wrecked in a car/bike encounter? Did you have it repaired?

Yeah, just a little surface rust. We reamed it out before I put it together.

Yea the front wheel and fork were the most damaged, well other and my body, so I have had the wheel and fork replaced (if you look at the first full bike shot, the one where the crank is removed you can see the new fork) I just bought a cheap fork, so I could ride the bike, and will probably upgrade it to a carbon Look one. The frame is still bent in a few places top tube and left chain stay, just slightly, so it still rides nicely, scratches here and there etc. I have a court date and all that legal hibityjibity but it takes forever ( thee date is set for late August ) I am still trying to get more money out of the lady.

Mr. Kaiser, very nice bike you have.

That's a nice picture of your rear derailleur, the little blue reflection is pretty. :drool:
