And for those of you that aren't into comedy photo effects, but a dSLR (the band is The Steal and the photo is taken with a Canon)
35mm have computers in them too.

Even the older purely mechanical ones can have compnents with the abilty to perform/assist in various calculations.

So to add to this geeky little rift in the faces thread, only the simplest of cameras, nameley a box with a shutter. (like holga's) can be closeley likened to a fixed gear, brakeless bicycle.

cheers lpg - the hair is a pretence to myself that I'm not getting old, but then the handlebars give my senility away. they're Pashley from Cavendish. and yes, it's a great part of the heath, but my favourite is the north-west corner.

yeah it is (I can tell), I'd love to removed the decals, how you go about doing that? I'm not sure what kind of decals that look like it's pretty much welded to the frame.

AFAIK the decals on a bianchi pista are under a layer of clearcoat?

Everything is stock except for:
-Mavic Ellipse Track Wheelset(Radial Front,2X Rear)
-MKS Pedals and Clips,Toshi Double-straps
-Chopped down Viking handlebars

As for stripping the decals,I just used a Paint and Varnish remover.If you do use this stuff,watch out though cus its lethal.I had gloves on and everything but I somehow managed to flick some onto my face,burned the shit out of my skin.Also,bike looks shinier in person,it was pretty dull went I took the photo!

that it? does it actually also removed the sticker too? or you'll have to removed it by hand after removing the layer?

Yeah the stuff I used took everything off no problem.When you first put it on you see the stickers and everything bubbling up but don't worry about it.Make sure you cover everywhere(I used a paint brush),leave it for a half hour and then wipe all the crap off with a cloth soaked in White spirits.
