That is a good one, The problem I am having is reducing the size of the photo down to be able to put it on this msg board. It is originally 576kb and it id hard to get the clarity at 100kb. Any info or suggestions would be a great help .

When you change the size of the picture, always use the 'save as...' feature to make copies for Emailing etc. This is because the small picture is lower quality that you wont recover if you make it bigger again. Also when you select the percentage reduction, that applies to both the height and width, so 50% reduction gives a 25% file size. You need about 40% to get 100Kb from 576Kb.

What is velorazzo?
Someone is selling boatloads of their frames on eBay but I've never heard of them and can't find any info about them.
Do you have any background on them or experiences with them?

They are made by the company Vuelta. They make wheels and chainrings, and this is a spinoff companyof theirs. I have a few hundred miles on this frame and I really like it so far. If you go to www.velorazzo.com you can view some of their carbon seat stay bikes also. I did purchase my frame off of e-bay and the price I paid was $160.00 shipped, it included frame,fork and integrated headset. I thought I couldnt go wrong for the price an decided to go for it. So far it rides great and I like it way much better than my Lemond I was riding. I have an old Bridgestone that fit me to a tee and this frame had the exact same geometry that I wanted. If a person doesnt have to have the exotic name bike then this is a great deal. I have a buddy that has a KHS flite 700 and the frames are almost exactly the same except the Khs has a notched seatube for wheel clearance.

nice bike. Have you noticed any flex in those cranks? I was reading a review of them and that is what the reviewers said...

I have read reviews that said they were flexy...I think i detect some sarcasm in your post?

Yes the cranks do flex a little. I weigh 190 lbs,but the little flex in the cranks is helping to keep my pedal stroke smooth. If I plan on a ride where the group will be doing some hammering I just swap my crankset back to the 105s. It only takes about 5 minutes to do so. I have tried my best to see if they would break or get any stress fractures and no dice so far.

It all came together into a real nice looking bike. I like the color scheme of the frame. Congrats. :)

Any further thoughts on the Velorazzo? I ended up getting two of them on eBay for ~ $150.00 shipped! For both! :D
I'd love to see some better pics of your bike if possible. You can email them to me direct if you like. jmackenz@insight.rr.com
Thanks!
ppl always mess up the distinction between "size" meaning filesize and "size" meaning image dimensions.
