Photoshopping on bicycle manufacturer website..
This is pretty funny.. took a while to notice this one (and I'm pretty proud
of myself). I always thought this picture looked funny: http://www.devinci.com/image/can_an_2005/st-tro_big.jpg Especially where the welds should be onto the head tube.... Then I started noticing that the components listed that should be on the bike aren't actually on the bike. So then I figured they photoshopped a previous year's bike to make the "2005" model. Then I saw this model from 2004: http://devinci.com/image/gabarit/Stockholm-photo-A.jpg Bingo! (flip between them, its funny) Then I realized they did the same trick to make this 2005 model: http://www.devinci.com/image/can_an_2005/stock_big.jpg It's painfully obvious now, especially looking behind the chain rings, and seeing black instead of the proper colour of the frame. This model looks mildly photoshopped as well: http://www.devinci.com/image/can_an_2005/oslo_big.jpg Something about the crank again doesn't look right to me.. the fact that the chain is lined up for the middle ring, and suddenly appears on the top ring. Then, how the axle position looks to low.. and how the polished parts of the big ring (visible where it crosses the chainstay) isnt' visible where it crosses the seat tube. Yeah.. I have no life.
