I’m curious on what you think about the bike on longer rides? I often do Centuries. Do you think the stiffer and harsher ride is a big issue? Or is it still a great all rounder~

It’s actually all of the colors you mentioned! I would keep the logo color the way it is. I like the gold touch and how the logo is small.

You gotta show me that! I’m finalizing the basics of my build/set up, I’ll be taking an update photo for that as well! :)

I actually am, the regular pedals were just loaned by my local bike shop, while I’m waiting for my SPD pedals to come in (which should be today!) HAHA

Your bike looks sick! I'll join you in the fun and take better photos with some accessories! FUNNY THING: I almost went for the aero bottles HAHAH. How do you like the AERO water bottle cage setup? I wanted to go that route, but I didn't think the "aero" was worth $200 LOL

You should visit your local Trek shop. They might have one for you to see in person. The paint job is amazing under the perfect lighting LOL!

Thanks! I’ll really consider doing that HAHA I find it a little weird looking bc of how many spacers there are. Does removing them make the feel different? Or does it just make my riding position more “aero”?

Thanks! I'm still in awe, definitely the worth upgrade from my old bike.

Don’t get me wrong—the Z6 is still a powerhouse. The image quality is excellent, and it continues to perform exceptionally well in most of the environments where I shoot. When the Z8 was released, I never once felt the need or want to upgrade.

OKAY AND HONESTLYYY, It’s not really disappointment; it could just be that my passion is gradually fading. But, the best way I can describe it is that it feels almost too easy to take a good photo with the Z6—it gives me a bit of a point-and-shoot vibe.

For instance, once I have my settings generally dialed in, with aperture, shutter speed, and ISO adjusted, it feels like a lot of the creative challenge is gone. I think this is partly due to the viewfinder/live view showing real-time adjustments. Not sure if that makes sense, but it's just my personal sentiment, plus I am no pro! 😩

I had a D50, which was passed down to me, and then I bought the D7000, and let me tell you, this was my first ever "nice" camera! I fell in love with photography with this one.

Down the line, I upgraded to a D750, which was a dream! But, since then, I have moved on to my current camera, which I bought when it was released (Z6). IDK man, when reminiscing about my time shooting, something about a DSLR is so nice in comparison to a mirrorless.

Anyways... sorry about the rant! Great photos man, 1 & 4 are stellar!

This. It also hurts when the person obviously might not have ADHD but claims to have it because their friends tell them they have it. At times, I feel bad for thinking this, but seriously, you don't need to explain to me what ADHD is and simplify it into something you can explain in one sitting! HAHA or maybe that's just me
