my new bicycle, photo series #2

Road bike

This detail shows the braze-on front derailleur, bringer of so much trou­ble. The star-shaped water bot­tle boss rein­force­ments are almost also visible.

In hind­sight, I should have put more dis­tance between the bike and the back­drop to reduce the shad­ows and reflec­tions. I guess if I were more com­puter savvy I could remove them dig­i­tally, but we don’t do that kind of thing here.

    Ukur­ish makes a good point. Why would you do such a thing?

    What tires are you using? The pat­tern looks a bit like a continental.

    I am vane so I stick with the coloured tires.

    Yes, those are Con­ti­nen­tal Grand Prix 4000 tires on DT Swiss rims.  Good eye.
