it's been a while since I posted in this thread, So today I decided to change the saddle on my Giant Talon 2, the original is like a razor Blade and caused a few eye watering moments, so I decided on a softer option, thankfully I know the guy at the local bike shop who cut a good deal on the new one, and yes thats a model Volcano in the background, Daughters school project.

Did you have your sit bones measured? Find a Specialized shop, and ask to be measured with the "ass-o-meter" which is a real thing. No charge for them to measure, takes about a minute or so, and you will find out what size saddle you should be using.

Yeah, I have wider hips (for my size) and everyone kept telling me to get a bigger seat, because it was hurting when I rode my bike. I went to a bike shop and ended up getting a smaller seat and all was well in perineum land.

I had a patient once who, when she rode a horse, experienced...ah...well, let's just say she REALLY liked riding!:eek:

Two of these.

I think I recall that you got an Einstein 640? Any thoughts on it yet? If that wasn't you, just ignore me.

Have you used this octabox yet? I was actually contemplating a similar setup. Any samples? You know, if you did, in fact, get the 640.

Got this "Dude, be nice." hoodie. Never heard of the dude who makes them. I just saw it and like it.

Well.. I ordered an Einstein E640 and Vagabond mini. Then I made enough money doing a team shoot to buy another E640 a few days ago. Yesterday I sold my 600EX-RT, so I got the two soft boxes today. So far I only have one of the lights and the Vagabond in. Should have it all next week. :)

Here's an example of the Einstein shot through a rectangular soft box. 32x48, I think. The light behind is the 600EX-RT laying on the ground pointing up. (no diffuser there)

^^^Now immediately remove those ghetto fabulous wheels;)

:p

Yeah, they really don't fit this type of car. I must say, it is a bit fun having the drug dealer car look as a very bland-looking tall skinny white guy who's never so much as smoked a cigarette. I know it's scary, but they're growing on me a little.

It came with the stock 18" chrome Lexus wheels too, so if I can fix the chrome-leak issue I'll revert back to those and sell off the 'dubs'.

Awesome. That's great that you're making what seems like a decent amount of money. Has it been a network of friends and people who know people you know? Nothing wrong with that if it is. I think most people start out that way. I'm just curious.

Thanks for the sample. Looks good :)


I saw this on my local bike club website. I'm tempted to try it out just to see what it's like.
