May 19, 20169 yr Budget, I don't care. Don't be unreasonable. I'm rough on my toys, so for me the weight and performance(is that a metric?) are much less important than being able to be beat to shit and be ridden like a jackass. This is mainly just for fitness. I enjoy riding on technical trails. I will probably spend 80% of the time on the road however. It would be cool if I could find something that I could ride in the winter too. If that means more than one bike I might be crabby.
May 19, 20169 yr If I could find off-road trails close to here it would probably change to 80% trail and technical.

May 19, 20169 yr Took some realtor style pictures last night with my mirror less Canon. They were horrible, worse than my cellphone pics.

May 20, 20169 yr Admin Hope it doesn't rain yet again. We are on a 18 out of 22 days of rain, and Arthur has had 2 games rained out.
May 21, 20169 yr Yes, I know I should have used an F12 or so. But cool pic. No editing other than shrinking it.

Looks good, a bit more F would help though. I'd try lengthening the exposure time and lower the built in exposure a notch. Obviously increasing the F stop will help too so that you don't flare out the second tube again.
May 21, 20169 yr Matt this might help. It is for XL and bigger frames, but normally frames scale. Finding an Ice Cream Truck in L may be a good start for a test ride. And yes there are more in that spreadsheet, and no it is not something you can download. I am an odd size and shop like an idiot so that is all my dumbass. Long ETT and low standover are your friends. Standover not that big of a deal. I would try to find a 170mm and 190mm Q factor to compare. The ICT will be 190 and I think the Pivot Le Fat you rode is a 170mm...but I will have to Google to check. The ICT may be too slack, but holy hell can it go through shit. I test rode one and rode through 18" deep mud. Got all nasty lol

I'd try lengthening the exposure time and lower the built in exposure a notch. Obviously increasing the F stop will help too so that you don't flare out the second tube again. I need to figure out how to make the flash less obtrusive. I flashed a smaller light off the back wall to make the Senn emblem show up (tubes thread on a Headphone forum, plus the HD600s kick ass), but the back wall shows up in the top black of the 6V6 tubes. Maybe it is just an inherent evil of the ultimate goal of the image. IIRC this is a 30sec exposure... maybe 25, but no less. I have a flexeril/Woodford combo working on my brain right now, so I am feeling too rubbery to take another shot. Played a bit with perspective on my "trophy" rifle tonight as well. Shitty background (my summer blanket), but I was interested on how my focal length played with the image...
May 21, 20169 yr In retrospect I wish I had pulled back to include the buttstock a bit more and left the barrel closer to the top right of the image.
