Great detail, and love the depth of field. The background is just right for this Columbine.

This is beautiful. I'd like to see it without the text...it would make a great print.

He was behaving like a madman afterwards, and was drinking a TON of water during the stage - perhaps to flush his system? I really did like and admire the guy. Now, not so sure.

I would sure like to believe him, but it's pretty tough to explain away the synthetic testosterone in his blood sample. He is a great rider, but think his career is pretty much over. He did race in the Tour of the Gila in New Mexico last month, but didn't hear how he did.

Originally posted by goc: holy crap! this is one mean machine ... raceface drivetrain :-) nice ! , if there are disc brakes ... huh? more stopping power would be nice to have, right? from what year is this SID fork ?

I think the fork is a 2005 model...I've had it a few years. I had a 2004, but had to have Rockshox replace it due to a defect.

I thought about putting disc brakes on it, but to do it right would cost about $1,100-$1,200. I would have to replace both hubs, buy an adapter from Litespeed, and then buy the disc brakes themselves that seem to be running about $250 per wheel. When done, I would have a bike that is heavier, and doubt that the stopping performance would be much better than the V-brakes. The V-brakes have great feel, and if needed I can lock them up on any surface. If I lived in a wet/muddy area, I would probably make the switch.

Wow! There's that incredible New Mexico sky I've come to know and love. The textures, colors, and the distortion from the wide angle view, and of course your processing all make this a great photograph.

This is great! I've been viewing many of the overlay photos on DPC recently, but have never tried one. cginodoes appear to be the master, but you're giving her a run for her money with this one.
