The pictures didn't load for some reason this time, but I saw them the other day.. looks like a cool bike but you need a new camera if I remember correctly.

Do I even want to know why you're using a London Mod instead of a Dragonfly cable (or something else) on your brake lever?

The camera sucks. 3.1 MP my rear!

A dragonfly isn't long enough because of my hnadlebar position.

The london mod is so I can run dual REGULAR cables from the lever to the stem. It's quite a strong way to do dual.

You know nothing of the saying: "if you don't have something good to say, say nothing at all", do you?

Someone in your upbringing needs a good thrashing!

How about an intelligent explanation following the negative comment. You might come across intelligent, rather than just *****y. Just a short negative comment doesn't really say much other that your just being an azz.

Aside from the fact that you can run dual regular cables from the lever to the stem with the Dragonfly setup, I find it incredibly hard to believe that the cables wouldn't reach; it's not like you have 9" tall bars.

Resolution has nothing to do with image quality displayed on the internet. You don't even need a 1MP for web photos. And I'll trade you some flanged ODI's for your non-flanged.

If you're in the market, I'd recommend a Canon A-series camera, like this A610:

It's no DSLR but it's got manual controls, and the image quality will be a lot better than what you have.

8" tall.

The Gyro tabs on an Odyssey Elementary stem are at the bottom edge of the stem. If they were at the top, the Dragonfly would have worked. There's an inch of difference there.

The camera I have cost $60. It's junk!

Trade...no. I have a set of flanged Rouges en route. I'm stripping parts off a Mongoose I just got, to put them on a 7005 aluminum K2 frame I have (for my wife).

No matter what the quality of the camera I use, I'm terrible at pic taking.
