I think I mentioned a few weeks ago that I'd be hanging out of the back of a Hilux, photographing for a cycle clothing company...
Well, here are a couple of the shots!

C&C appreciated, of course.

And then there's the Elinchroms...

Narrow lane, B&W, no helmets - gives me a vintage feel. Not good or bad, just the feel I get from them.

A vintage feel! That's exactly what I like of all this shots. Somehow all this shots take me back in time to my early days of racing, or more precisely an early group ride with the guys, lets say a Sunday morning 150k (I guess I am getting old, don't listen to me). Anyway, I love the shots. Thanks for posting.

Are the riders models or cyclists or both?

Thanks for your input, fellas.
The riders are just that: Most were regular cyclists, none are models. One is an ex-professional and GB champion, one had not been on a bike in years, and one was a personal trainer.
I'm glad you got the vintage feel from these shots, that's exactly what I was after; a 1970s - 1980s kinda feel, from when our target market was young and riding free - without helmets - and bikes only had ten gears, that sort of thing.

"Poor man's Rapha"? Interesting comment. No, it's not Castelli, you were closer the first time... The brand hasn't come to market yet, but will launch very soon.

The B&W retro look works well with these pics.

@ Suipedali: No, it's not John Cosgrove.
Yagi: Cheers for your thoughts. I'm pleased with the feel of the pics too.
