Unique gifts for a cycling dude?

How did you pose the bike? This is a great idea.

(It's like boudoir pics, but with a bike...would that be garagoir pics if he keeps his bike in the garage?)

I took a black sheet and tacked it up on the wall and put another on the floor. It was on a wall that was adjacent to my big southern window. When the sun was coming through the shutters, I used the low light portrait setting on my camera (I am NO professional) and took a million pics of the components. The best one was of the crankset....his bike is a Cannondale in the Team Toyota colors, it had stars that stream along the chainstay. His tires are Mavic Cosmos. It was a closeup of the crank, the stay, and the edge of the tire, and the Cosmos logo is just barely visible along the edge of the stars. I printed four of the best pics in black and white, got them matted and framed, and he loved them. LOVED them.
If anyone wants to see them, send me a message and I will email them to you, the file is too big to attach here.

Duh!!! My avatar pic over there is it! Wow. This is what happens to me when I am working nights. My ability to be coherent becomes nil.
