The "Show off your bike" thread!
Discussion
I don't know what it is about bike photos, but there is something about them that just sets my OCD off.
Chain in the small ring.
Valve stems not at 12 or 6.
Tyres not mounted with the sidewall decal at the valve stem.
Mismatched waterbottles (calling them bidons is only allowed if you are currently affiliated with the Pro Tour, are French or called Sean Kelly)
Cranks not parallel to ground (exception made if they line up with the chainstay, or if the pedal is being used to support the bike)
Mismatching saddle/bartape
Non-driveside photos
Dirty roadbikes (MTBs may be clean or filthy, nothing in between)
QR levers not lined up with front fork and inside rear triangle (Aero bikes and TT bikes may have the front parallel to the ground)
I am sure I have fallen foul of at least some of these in the past, but it doesn't half make my teeth itch when I realise I've done it...

Loads of choice around that money, (think its £8k all in) - F10, C64, Feskta, Venge, BMC etc. i just wanted something a bit different, not one to buy the normal choice (my race bike is a bowman)
