Finally was able to get some decent pics of my trail bike! This is a 15 sec exposure with no flash taken in my underground carpark (with some gamma correction added in post-production).
Make sure you check out bigger, higher resolution versions for much more detail:

Nice shot
Nothing better than 'edgy' shots of bikes... well... maybe 'edgy' shots of them being ridden!
"edgy still life"
Hehe. Yeah a photo with me on it on a killer trail somewhere would definitely be better but that couldn't be arranged unfortuntely.
In fact, bar a quick Dam lap a couple of weeks ago, i've not had a chance to get out on any bike for a good couple of months now...
Pass the tissues.
That is pure bike porn.
Excellent Pic (& bike) Starship303
By the way we share the same forks
Pikey
5.5 + pike = fun
Yeah i love the Pikes, they work a treat on the 5.5 frame, really match up well. Having a taller axle-to-crown height than other options means they slacken the head angle slightly too which is what i was after. It also meant i could shorten the cockpit (running a Thomson 70mm X4 stem) without adversly affecting the steering reactions. Really don't know why more people (in the US at least) don't run these frames with Pikes.

hahaha very good i think 5.5 is a real speed machine.
Well its only a speed
Well its only a speed machine when the muppet on it is fast enough...
Hey Adrian, you deal in Intense now don't you? Are you able to get me a price for a 5.5 decal set?? PM me if you like.
Looking at replacing the one thats on the Intense at the moment with the newer, cleaner looking design. I inquired about some through Comp. Cyclist but the postage was crazy so didn't go through with it.
Cheers,
