phat, i'm lovin the forks, have fun on that mate
Nice Ride.. Probably one of the nicest looking ones on here (in my opinion)! Looks especially good with the white backdrop...
Just a few questions, How do you find the DMR SS (It is the one which goes onto an 8/9 speed freewheel right? Or am i seeing things :shock: ) and what did you use to hold your bike up when you took those shots, it looks like there just standing there on there own :lol:
Thanks
Michael

I found the DMR SS kit a great setup and have no problems at all.
The only down side to it is the price, I would recomend the Da Bomb setup as it looks like a better quality setup and is half the price. ($49.95 for the DMR) and yes it is the 8-9speed setup.
I used a small white block to hold my bike up (by the pedal) but it cannot be seen becuase it is also white.
Cya,
Chris.
Okay, thanks for thatSpoolin said:
I was just wondering thats all as i may convert my STP once it arrives into SS for summer (Street/Urban) riding, but I was also looking for something cheaper than the DMR as i will most probably have to get a SS Tensioner (if i can't shorten the chain too a suitable length) due too the vertical drop outs... The Da Bomb One's Look pretty nice!
You wouldnt know how much the Da Bomb tensioner would cost? I don't really see why the DMR Tension Seeker Costs $125...
MUGEN: I'm pretty sure (please correct me if I'm wrong) you can use a perfectly white sheet for the backdrop and use fairly bright lights and you can get this effect, but some shadows may come in to play. This is when i think you use photoshop to change the contrast and brightness and stuff to get the effect like Chris has gotten with his bike.
Thanks Again

You can get white background at some photography stores, Its pretty much a very large peice of paper with a large price tag also.MUGEN said:used a white backdrop? How?Spoolin said:No i didnt photoshop the background, just used a while backdrop.
You can use sheets but may not have the best results as they can not be white enough.
The rest is camera settings (Aperture and Speed Shutter)
I shot on a cloudy day, early in the morning, by doing this you get nice fine even light that produces very little to no shadows.
I only do this becuase I cannot affored a studio and lighting gear.
The only photoshop I used was to adjust image size and to put the black border around the image.
Ahh k, I asked my dad how they did white backdrops in photos as he reads a few Digital Camera magazines and he said the used sheets (not sure whether he ment sheets of paper or bed sheets ) and just adjust a few things in your camera and in photoshop.
Yours looks pretty much the same as the shots in Car Magazines where there in a proffesional studio.. Nice work!
