Eh, semantics. If you wanted to be really critical, very few are actually using film at all. "Shooting" would probably be more appropriate.

There's no sac in Sicilian.

Man. That time trial shifter mount is the best execution of a shifter on a SS bike's downtube I've seen. Really nice.

Good eye. They're the new US distributors.

Shazam, dog. Shazam... http://www.shazam.com/

Ha! The specs are hilarious: http://ibismaximus.com/#specs What an amazing piece of art.

Deda Elementi brought this to the road a couple seasons ago: http://www.trentacinque.net/ The theory is sound, but it isn't exactly setting the industry on fire, either. Don't worry about a new "standard." For now, it's a couple manufacturers making a niche product that stands on its own. Maybe it'll gain traction down the road, but it'll probably take a while.

That cease and desist from Capitol Records should be arriving shortly, right?

This!! It doesn't help that Trek continuously shows off the custom livery created for the likes of Semenuk, Schnell, McCaul, Wildhaber, etc (not to mention all of the Trek employees with the beautiful understated finishes - have you ever seen any of Ray Waxham's rigs?), and then not only doesn't offer them; they make the factory warranty void if you decide to get them professionally finished on your own dime. Given, I think that Project One for mountain bikes was discontinued for a couple reasons: Firstly, they didn't sell nearly as well as their P1 road offerings. However, they haven't had P1 mtb's since about 2004, and their mountain bikes were not very competitive. I'm sure they're selling many more of them now. And secondly, they had difficulty with the paint warranty as mountain bikes are subject to much more abuse than their road counterparts. Regardless, they've shown again and again that they have artists in house that are capable of great work and customers that are willing to pay for it. Travis Ott and Michael Browne, are you listening?

Now all they need is Nico, Anne-Caro, Mercedes, Mike King, Jerome Chiotti, Juli Furtado, Mark Gullickson, Alison Dunlap, Laurence Leboucher, and Leigh Donovan. And a 53 foot semi truck.

Yes, kre-VIII-iv, you're right. Geoff and Bob Fox are brothers. And yes memphisraines, it is ironic. Sad to see the negative props...
