Thanks, I think? It's an updated photo with a new cam, I thought it turned out a lot better.. the rotor shot thing is the cam on "macro" mode (the colour is very true to life, at least on my monitor).. I just got it so I'm playing around with it a bit. It's nothing special but it's my newest toy. :D

BTW, your ride is sweet. Did you get it from a local shop or direct?
It's a Fuji 2600Z, 2.0MP, 3x opt. zoom, uhm.. 20sec video w/o sound. Damn good cam for the money, I'd say the best point and shoot in it's price range - I did a LOT of reasearch before making the decision, it was a toss up between this and the Canon A40, which is also a very good cam for the money - but, mine came with a battery charger, and a 16mb smartmedia card. I had an HP PS 320, and man was it ever a piece of crap. Shadows/gradients were horrid, it was grainy as hell.

Thanks - I basically built it up from one shop over time, it's had many faces. The frame also came from the same shop on closeout (they got kicked off the dealer list for undercutting other dealers), I got a really good deal on it. Originally I had a 15" frame, but I had some serious headset issues which eventually ovalized the headtube. Eric was kind enough to come in on a Sunday afternoon, and did a direct frame trade with me no charge, even threw in some stickers. With the new frame I don't think there's any chance of ovalization. It has 5mm thick cro-moly "rings" top and bottom. The new frame is also much thicker in the top tube and seatstays, needless to say I'm very, very confident on it.

How is the fork
I LOVE the Shiver, it never seems to want to bottom out... I am going to go with a DC though because I am a big bastard and like to do big drops (6' 230lb) so I need a bigger fork... Too bad because I just got it a few weeks ago. I might sell it for 50$ less than I paid. If you are interested, PM me.
