It's taken me about two years, but I've finally gotten around to taking pics of my builds, again. I've put together all the pieces for a mini photo studio, so I can take pics more easily in the future. So I'll post some more soon. But in the short term, here's my JMC Shadow (thank you Adam Cox, if you're reading this). Cheers, Frazer

BTW, anyone in the SF Bay Area who wants pics of your bikes, give me a hollar, and I'll help you out, now that I have all the tools on hand.

Those tyres look dirty!

So do those grips

I rode her at the track on many occasions, and thus, the dirty tires. But now I have a new school track bike (oh geez, I'm such a sell out!).

Very, very nice!

I am looking to set up a "BMXA Style" home photo studio to shoot my bikes. Yours looks great. I have a Nikon D80 and a Lowel 3 point video lighting kit. Can you help me? LOL!

Anyway, fantastic build and the only thing I would change is the chainwheel. The 46T or what ever it is makes the frame look small. Sorry for the nitpick but that's just my opinion.

Great work!!

Hey Scott,

A three light Lowell kit aughta do you solid. I used photo floods with umbrellas from 3/4 side and bounced a flood into a 4x4ish sized piece of paper above the seamless. The seamless is just a 9' roll from the photo supply store (about $30). I'm a cinematographer by trade, but I don't own any lights other than the floods (because I'd end up owning a 2 ton grip/electric truck if I got into any lighting gear). I have a total of about $200 invested in my photo kit, outside of the my Canon 20D.

I put the bigger chainwheel on because I wanted a higher gearing for the track...

It's an 83, as well.
