This is one of my favorite pictures from all of the finished bikes this year.
Thanks Renaissance Man . I was laying on my stomach to get this shot. Got lucky with the light coming through on the top left....... I didn't notice it until I got home and started looking through the pics. All the shots were taken with a 5 year old $90 Olympus camera.
Oh my gosh I'd be overwhelmed I find a spot run around the bike clicking the photo button hopping for the best sometimes I win sometimes I loose.The finer details……..some are nit picky but speaking from personal experience they are things I look for. Humans are visual and sometimes the subconscious influences our intentions
In most cases I prefer the front wheel and bars straight. Very rarely does a juxtaposed stance appeal to me unless it’s done with purpose
Cranks/pedals fully vertical or horizontal for photos
Even the littlest stuff like to rotate wheels to get valve caps, logos, etc positioned uniformly. Logos on sidewalls lined up properly on the rims in line with the valve stem or 180 opposite

Those are pro wheel assembly tips. The valves 180° opposite of the logos makes it easier to find the valve in a hurryCap'n A, I know what you mean. Back in the day as a part time bike shop employee (mid 80s to early 90s) I would have a few people "bang on my eardrums" because I was taking a few extra moments when assembling a bike and aligning the rim brand with the tire brand.
I brought my bike to a "pro" they made everything match but forgot to make sure my brakes didn't rub torn tire later won't do that againThose are pro wheel assembly tips. The valves 180° opposite of the logos makes it easier to find the valve in a hurry
That sucks. The kids don't know how to set up rim brakes anymoreI brought my bike to a "pro" they made everything match but forgot to make sure my brakes didn't rub torn tire later won't do that again
