13 or 14...fairly clear shot with the bike in fairly good definition, decent action pose...

10 and 19 are good action shots, but the bike is darkened and pic quality not as good it seems

...hey all that bike washing makes sense now :D

2 would be my pick.
6 shows the bike really well, nobody wants to see your head anyway....

i think in this case it may not be that necessary to pick a picture primarily based on if the bike is shown in full detail, from the driveside and all that, if its going in a catalog there will be lots of better shots of the bike, actually id pick this mostly for the "see, we`re into racing just like you" factor instead of "look at how pretty our bike is", thinking that way i guess what is needed is a picture that conveys a sense of "core-ness" and nearness to the sport.

based on that my first pick would be #2, then maybe 14

If I had to choose one, I would pick 19. But as others have said, none of them are really good. 19 would be much better if it was more in focus (I don't know much at all about photography, but I know what a good pic looks like aka Spomer's pics).

7 hahah 9 and 19... I don't think magazines put bikes bottoming out, so 7 is a must!

Seriously, the are pretty weak pictures...

thats because almost all of them are of fraser (transcend)... ha ha ha, just kidding.

seriously only a few are even in focus... and those that are good quality are not that exciting to look at... but they are still cool.

catalog should have a well focused picture that gives the impression of speed and control.

driveside/detailed bike photos should be taken in the studio anyway... action photos just add to the whole image.

if it is not in focus... don't bother submitting it. that should narrow your list down a bit
