SAWEEET Biggs! nice camera work! I have been off the monkey for a few days (super busy at work) and didn't hear if you finished up that bike you were building up? Also what cam did you get? and what cam were you replacing?

nope still in need of cranks (profile only not being picky but the profile bottom bracket is seized in the shell and wont come out)and a fork (stinkyboy might be hookin it up with a junker fork).

as for the camera i picked up the Digital Rebel XT. i like ti a lot. The camera i was replacing which is now for sale/trade is a canon powershot G5. i love the G5 and wanted to hang onto but its not like i am ever going to use it.

RIght on the XT is sweet. Manhattanprjkt used one for a while, and loved it!

I'll look around and talk to some friends to see if I can scrounge up profiles for you. I am not sure I will have much luck, but will try!

Again thanks for the pics! good stuff mang!
