I think most of the photos posted the same day are
uncropped 1:1.5 aspect ratio. Obviously you could crop
to a 1:1.5 ratio, but when many of the photos are like that
it suggests the demands of posting fast have overriden
subtleties like editing out yahoos' butts.
As for Floyd's non-yellow shorts, I posted the Pantone yellow
colormatches for Phonak yellow and MJ yellow a while back.
Clash City (Rockers). You can't just mix and match this stuff
randomly. Get Fabrizio Mazzoleni to show you the Pantone
chart if you need help. I'm sure he rides with one at all times.
