« on: January 11, 2012, 11:29:17 PM »
Hi All,

Out and about with the Nomad, first time I have had a camera with me.
Had the bike a few months now, Great bike and really like the rohloff hub.

Cheers,

Ian

What a great shot, Ian!  What amazes me is you got the Abbey to pretty much match the color of your saddle!   ;)

How 'bout some more shots?  Lots of interesting bike details there as well...a gorgeous tan Brooks, and what appears to be a front pannier rack that isn't a Thorn Low-Loader? Nice looking rack-pack as well; what a fine location for photography.  Well done!

Best,

Dan.

With your obvious talent for photography, lets hope you take your camera with you more often on your cycling outings!  And of course post the results on here   ;D

Hi All,

A famous son of Dunfermline was born here.
I reckon he loved steel as well !

Interested?  I'll say!  ;D  Ian, you've got a wonderful bike there, and kitted-out in a way to make Thorn proud!

Besides that, you've got a wonderful way with a camera.  This could well be a professional product brochure for the company.  What an outstanding job!  The magnetic pixels are a great touch; they keep me coming back for another look-see.

Of course, showing a closeup hasn't quelled the questions -- far from it!  Um...Ian...did you make your own (yellow) brake bands to work with the Click-Stand?  Maybe velcro?  They look great, and are a perfect match for the paint scheme.  And...what a terrific taillight setup.  I recognize the CatEye, but are those two others mounted below it?

More!   :D

Best,

Dan.

Hi Dan,

The brake bands are Livestrong wristbands, work perfect.
The rear light is a set of "AY-UP" lights from Australia, they are fitted with red Saxon caps. Great burn time on 1/2 power and very bright. Also use a set on helmet to complement front light.
Cheers

Hi All,

Trip to Edinburgh today.
This Engineering marvel was looking good, it has been covered with scaffold and tarpaulin for years.
The new paint is said to last 20-30 years!

Cheers,

Ian

Man, Ian, these photos of yours just keep getting better and better!  How ever do you do it?

Fantastic shots, Thorn needs to hire you for a magazine ad campaign.

Best,

Dan.
