I've always been amazed at the invention of the flashbulb, I remember being at parties when I was young and seeing expended ones in the ashtrays or people playing hot potato with them trying to que up for the next shot and popping the bulb out before it cooled. I think this screw in model was before my time but when I saw it I knew I had to have it for a shot. At last the Sylvania Flashbulb, No. 40B! As for size, it measures 3.75 in. x 2 in., about the size of a standard light bulb
To create the setting, I glued a metal support rod to the back of the threaded section which I later removed in post. Lighting was all about controlling the reflections and in the end I used one spot directly over the bulb and another over the camera pointing slightly down. I added a sparkle piece of silver paper under the bulb about 10 inches below to kick a little light on the bottom. No flash or flashbulbs were used in the making of this shot.
Shot with: VOIGTLANDER, 125mm f/2.5 SL, MACRO APO-LANTHAR @ f/5.6, 30 Layer Focus Stack.

This was one of the most well known and notorious neon signs in Montreal, I learned in research for my visit at the end of last year. Unfortunately it had joined a trend of disappearing and going-dark neon in Montreal by the time I got there. The business, which started in 1978, is now closed and the neon is dark.

After nearly 10 months, it finally has a (already very well traveled) custom rack made to the right specs.
Front wheel to eventually be replaced w/a dynamo hub, and planet bike superflash taillights also to be added. The rack also has brazeons on the right side for a Velo Orange flashlight bracket, for a high powered LED flashlight for additional lighting.
My Civia Hyland in it's first incarnation - front light not yet mounted, steerer still waiting for the final cut. Seen with Civia original aluminium fenders, a set of Planet Bike Cascadia ready as backup.
Built as a fast and rugged bike for all year everyday commuting use in Oslo, Norway - with steep hills and crappy weather.

A few comments on component choices:
> > SR Suntour suspension seat post:
I love suspension posts for urban riding – they totally transform your ride across cobblestones, tram lines and rough street surfaces. I have used a lot of different suspension posts, but have to say this one is the comfort king: The parallellogram linkage secures minimum friction and a natural travel path, while the internal steel coil spring takes care of the bumps in a way the rubber/polyurethan materials cannot match. The flip side? Weight. A bit more than 700 grams seems like an anchor on paper, but I never think of it while riding. A Cane Creek Thudbuster Short Travel would save almost 300 grams, but the suspension rubber bumper would stiffen up in cold weather - which happen to be the default weather setting in Norway...
> > Civia aluminium fenders:
Looks great in matching colors, front fender longer than most securing very decent coverage – but I have no idea how robust these fenders really are, and if they will take my Schwalbe Marathon Winter 700/40 tires….
> > Planet Bike SuperFlash light:
Have a couple of these in the white/red model, and have to say this is the brightest light in it’s class I’ve ever come across. This one is the Stealth version, with a more discrete housing – but with the same powerful red LED-lights inside.
> > Racktime AddIt front rack:
I struggled a bit with the decision on which front rack to get. Basically I just needed a simple platform for a basket, as I find a light wire basket super handy up front. I ended up with the Racktime, but wish it was a bit lower. Apparently it is made for forks with eyelets further down on the fork leg. The German brand Racktime is actually a sub-brand of the legendary Tubus carrier brand – Racktime offer cheaper aluminium racks more suited to the lifestyle, urban market with lots of snap-on bags and baskets, while Tubus caters for the die-hard load carrying folks with their pure steel/titanium products.
> > Ragley Carnegie’s handlebars:
Used to ride the very nice On-One Mary handlebars also designed by Brant Richards before he moved on and started his own Ragley brand – and I really love the Carnegie’s for their more generous width and less sweep. These bars have a 25 degree backwards sweep, compared to the Mary’s 40 or so. The Carnegie’s feels just right instantly. I actually consider bying another one for my Trek 69er mountain bike. It should be added that Civia also make a handlebar with the same degree of sweep - the Colfax - but at 620mm it turns out a bit narrow for me. I like the extra leverage on the steepest hills, as well as the more stable overall feel.
> > Race Face Turbine LP cranks:
This crankset might be a rather silly spec on an everyday bicycle, I know – but I had it lying on my shelf and I love the super reliable, Swedish SKF ISIS bottom bracket that goes with it… Besides, I needed a slightly lower gearing than the standard Alfine 45t crankset – and had an old 42t Race Face chainring waiting for some use as well. Mounted the ring inside out, of course, to avoid too many visible Race Face logos… ;-)
> > Panaracer T-Serv tires:
Can’t say enough good about these tires: Reliable with a few internal touches for puncture resistance, nice grip, rolls pretty well – and keep me riding with no worries. Civia specs 28mm on their standard bike, I choose 32mm for a more all-round capability on various road surfaces. Have a pair of 35mm, too, but like the slightly more snappy ride of the lighter and narrower 32mm.
