Haha, yeah some zebra print stuff. Nasty!

Yep, ISM Adamo, uncomfortable as hell (ahem, Marmite is the term I believe) and will be quickly replaced. Frame is indeed Chinese. Guy I got it from added the Cervelo decals, but I think I'd have preferred it without. His choice of tape is questionable too :p

Posted this in the other bike thread, *shudders* :p Got myself a new bike a few days back: Fast as hell, speed demon doesn't even begin to explain it! Going to grab a pair of trispokes and replace the front spinergy full time and swap between the disc on the rear (that thing really is...

Can't we all pretend to be friends? Nah I didn't realise I thought that was thread for bits and bobs for road biking, not road biking in general! I'll tootle over to there then :o

It's been a while since I made a post here, but I've just got myself a new bike: Speed demon doesn't even begin to describe this thing :eek: Planning on grabbing a pair of carbon HED/Specialized trispokes, replacing the front Spinergy full time with one of those and swapping between disc...

Just the cheap and nasty stock wheels. Yes I know that's a massive factor in the amount of time I spend truing out, but if I'm going to replace the wheels I might as well go all the way huh? My thoughts were the aero factor might allow less effort for the same speed (thus going further...

Well I've just about had enough of my standard wheels, there's only so many times I can true them out from inner-city cycling and to top it off the hub appears to be damaged! I've been looking at getting some trispokes for a while for long distance stuff and just to make my bike look the sex, my...

Many thanks for the replies guys, I've accepted. For those of you who read the Doctor Who magazine, keep your eyes peeled ;)

Yep, it's another fair compensation thread :p I've just been approached by Doctor Who Magazine wanting to use one of my photos in their next publication, they've offered me £45 for a half page use of one of my photos in their interview section. I have no idea how much is about par for this...

I've been looking at getting one of these for a low powered media centre, I've read a lot out there on the actual Raspi forums but nothing that says one way or the other if I can get away with what I'm hoping! Got an ageing sound system that sounds way better than anything I can afford these...

I've just managed to snap a spoke on my bike, never thought about having to replace a spoke before! Any recommendations where to get a decent one/pack from? I had thought about replacing the wheels for coloured rimmed ones (to be a bit more noticeable on the road from the side), my searching...

Considering the fact that the full frame sensors are still harder to manufacture, and thus more expensive, means that DX will always likely have a place. The D600 might be open to keen amateurs, but then many a keen amateur has purchased a D3 or D700 back in the day, and I'm seeing many of those...

Redsnapper is up there with the best tripods (in general, not just for the money). I mentioned earlier in the thread that I looked at upgrading my legs to Gitzo ones but found for the money there wasn't many advantages. My only gripes with Redsnapper are: Their heads are pants. The RSH-12 is...

Pedals ordered this morning and were sent out within a couple of hours, so hopefully will arrive by the weekend. Will nip to a cycling shop tomorrow and try some shoes on, I know I didn't want to throw money at something I might not get on with, but I'd rather know I'm getting the right fit...

I did find a thread on another forum after asking here, and it appears to be very difficult to access anything via a Bryton. They use their own format which GPSBabel won't recognise, which means they've lost a sale unfortunately. I completely expect to fall over a few times, what worries me...

Ah, that explains a lot, makes sense too! I noticed one was SPD and the other SPD-SL, but wasn't sure if they were compatible. Ah well, I'll have to go with one or the other. The pair I tried on, albeit cheap, felt like the cleat screws were touching the ground which I imagine would make...

First off, happy new year to everyone! :D I'm after a few shiney toys for my new bike, I've done some reading up on bits and pieces but figured before I hit buy I'd ask on here to see if there any alternatives I should check out. First, I need some new pedals as they're far too small for...

I usually find that recovering highlights there is much more clipping on my D3/D300, and recovering the shadows creates a tun of noise so overall I'm pleased with these results, as said considering it's really only a compact camera. I think the HDR look is more produced by the fact that the...

:rolleyes: 85mm is a great lens, but completely the wrong field of view on a DX body in my opinion.

A while ago I posted my latest camera (X100) and promised a few example shots, well I went out for a nice long cycle today and after getting stuck due to local flooding (my usual route home was flooded worse, here is a shot of the roundabout route)! Anyway, after backtracking for a second...
