If you've ever looked at a bike magazine (and we expect that you have) then the work of top MTB photographer Seb Rogers is probably familiar to you. Having travelled to some of the best biking destinations in the world and worked with some of the best riders, he's got thousands and thousands of superb bike images.
Some of those images are now available as strictly limited edition prints via Seb's shiny new website at www.sebrogers.co.uk. He'll be choosing some of his personal favourites, but if you want a particular one you'll have to be quick - he'll only be doing 25 of each. "These are the pictures that bring back memories of the perfect day or a particular trail. They make me smile and remind me why I ride," explains Seb.
Never one to take the easy option, Seb produces all the prints himself using an armoury of scanners, calibrated screens, custom-modified printers, archive-quality paper and inks and all sorts of other cleverness. Once he's happy with the result, he'll sign and number them, package them up with a presentation box and include a certificate of authenticity featuring background information for each shot.
Prints are available in A4 or A3 sizes, both of which look great. Perfect for that blank patch of wall that you've been meaning to hang something in that says, "I'm a mountain biker" and, dare we say, a great Christmas gift idea.
As an added incentive, £10 from every print sold goes to MTB advocacy group IMBA. And if that's not excuse enough, it's a rare opportunity to get hold of a big picture of the BM editor's arms (top right pic)...

Did it affect the bike's handling having Seb perched on your top tube?
This is a good idea, might get one myself.
If you want good quality pics from your own photos, try Peak Online - you use their upload software to transfer the images to their computer, and the pics arrive through the door a couple of days later. I got a nice 10x8 from that one up on the frontpage now.
