It took me a while to figure out how to post large images. I upload my photos to Flickr, www.flickr.com, then, copy and paste the BB Code in to the post (I select the Large 768 x 1024 format). Good luck!

I look forward to seeing your Cresta built up. You should have no problem switching to 700c wheels. You may even be able to re-use your original brakes.
