[Closed] New Bike Day (CX and Photography content inside)

I finally finished putting my new CX bike together yesterday and decided to go out for a spin.
I took some camera gear with me to try and capture it before I trashed it's shiny newness.

I know it's just a Halfrauds special, but I like it.

Non-standard bits are: Seatpost, Stem, Wheels, Rotors.

[b]Photography info:[/b]
Off-camera Vivitar 285HV flash on full power, variable distance, stood on gorillapod. Cactus V2 triggers. Canon 40D with Canon 50mm f/1.8. Shot on a cloudy day around noon.

Location was the local outdoor skatepark which made a surprisingly good backdrop. Then on to local woods.

This was the first time I'd tried doing anything with remote flash outdoors. I was surprised at how easily the flash overpowered the daylight and created a 'studio' look.
