Bike at the lake.

I would guess it was taken with a telephoto lens - could be 200mm f/8 as a wild guess. That gives a background blur of 200/8 = 25mm, which looks about right.

The software that I use to make the frame for the photo strips the EXIF. It was taken at 70mm f/2.8. definitely wouldn't have used a more narrow aperture for this photo since I wanted the bicycle to be the focal point, but it is possible that I shot the scene at a few different f-numbers and chose this one to process (that's something I do from time to time if I'm unsure and motion permits).

Yeah? Well, if that bike's there next month, I'll use f/2, because I can. 😝

All of it?! No way can someone do that! 😁

Don't be lazy. Ride your own bike there. Like this

Actually, I will be riding my bike there next month. But my bike looks more like this:

One of mine

That is a very nice bike! I've not ridden then newer style mountain bikes with the one gear in front and huge cassette in the back. I've also seen a couple of you tube videos where they use a belt instead of a chain, and there are supposedly some real nice advantages with that. Still, I don't ride all that much, so a bike as nice as yours would be overkill for me.

All that said, I really like my bike a lot -- it's everything I wanted (and was really surprised to find a bike that fit me for sale in rural Japan that I would like this much!) -- and if there's more that I would want that I don't know about, well, like Cypher said, "Ignorance is bliss." 😎

I enjoy building them from parts I acquire off interwebz sales. Online bike shops, eBay & such. I built that for the frame geometry I was chasing. About 1240mm? wheelbase, slack head angle, 150mm travel fork, hand built Fulcrum 27.5" wheels with 2.5 or 2.6" tubeless tyres, the 1x11 gearing was more an experiment than requirement. It's good. Very good. Carbon Fiber handlebars & seat post to take the edge off the harshness & vibration, works really well. Favourite bike so far :)
I ride it much harder than I should at my age, self control is not one of my strong points. I hit that drop it's parked under, then through the dry riverbed I'm sitting in, on my typical weeknight loop.
Chucked my camera to some kids watching & waiting for the old fart to crash, they got a couple of shots after a 30second crash course on how to shoot an interchangeable lens camera :)

Another one of my bikes. Down by the river I popped some 40mm road tyres on my carbon fibre XC bike after if built another one. It's a gorgeous bike to ride, a properly engineered and built carbon fibre bike is a thing of awe. Zingy, springy, comfortable, light and strong.

Man -- that's an even more beautiful beauty! One question, though -- it doesn't look like you can lock/unlock the suspension on the fly. That's kind of a must have for me.

You can, but the lever/switch is on top of the fork stanchion, rather than another lever on the bars. Air spring forks, you set the pressure for ride height/spring rate (sort of) with a little shock/fork pump, rebound damping is on the bottom of the lowers, and the "lockout" on top is actually just a 3 position compression damping adjustment. Locked is just blocked off
