Images of a new toy.

So I just got this in the mail today. It is so pretty I decided to have a little photo shoot in my living room.

(10D, 500EX and a torch light)

But it's go no attachments.

Strangest camera equipment I have seen.

Would be careful where I sit on that thing.

Enjoy. Bet it weighs almost nothing as well ????

I got it - one of them there new-fangled flash brackets?

Enjoy the ride!

I've never heard of that company. PA? That's pretty big. Have you tried it on yet? No photos of that are necessary, thank you.

[brianc]

Me either. But Dialled Bikes seems to have a good undergroud swell going in England. The price was right and most importantly it's designed for a 125/130mm fork! They make a Ti version as well, but that was out of my price range.

Cool thing not shown is the "Pablo Esco Bars" that came with it.

I get to dress it up on superbowl sunday. I might bring it with me to SoCal. (hopefully, my date change didn't cause too much trouble.)

For more pictures do a google search for "prince albert".

[brianc]

it;s not as light as you think. It's designed to take a little abuse.

[brianc]

no, it's a backgroud cloth.

So it's a hardtail hucker? Cool. It definitely looks cool. It's steel?

Your schedule change is fine with me - so far.

I'm not doing any searches on that subject. No thanks. I once had a photo job shooting every kind of piercing. That was an, ummmmm, experience. I'd have to get paid a *lot* to do it again.

[brianc]

So it's a hardtail hucker?

yes and no. It's a cross between a full on hucker and a XC hardtail. more trial friendly geometry than a hucker, but not builier than a true XC bike. plus the 125/130mm fork designed geometry.

Steel good. Renyolds 520 and 4130. the frame weighs around 5.5#. heavier than a true XC but not a pig like a Surl Instagator (6.8#) for example.


re: your old photo "job". that sounds almost as bad as certian doctors. In grad school I had a friend who was into that sort of thing. which was nice when she wore skirts made for rubber welcome mats, but bad when she decieded to educate me through surfing the internet.

I remember the days when I used to BMX race, and getting a new frame was the BEST thing in the world. My favorite was a low-profile Patterson nickel-alloy frame. Light, strong, and able to leap tall park benches in a single bunny hop. Ah, the memories. Of course, I'd kill myself if I tried it now. Have a great time with your new frame!

Brian, when are you coming out to SoCal and where will you be riding?

Ray

[brianc]

yes and I don't know.

I have to work at Cal. St. @ LA Feb. 14th-18th. and I haven't decided if I will come down the weekend before, after, or both.

[Michael Fanelli]

Hey dude, where's my wheels?

[mjs1973]

Hey dude, where's my wheels?

...and the motor?

[brianc]

...and the motor?

sorry I don't have any good self portraits. =)

If you have a bit of time when you get here, perhaps we can meet up. We can even see if Penny & Gene would like to get together too, and we can do some shootin' in L.A. Penny & Gene know of a lot of good places to go. Even if they can't make it they can recommend something. Personally, I'd like an excuse to get out to Union Station and take some photos there.

I don't know how things will work out with my schedual, but if I have time we should definatly go shoot someplace.

I'll post here and send you a PM once I have a better idea of things.
