we need a big bold sticky that is call "What kind of bike do I have: READ ME!"

It would include all the import things..

Drive side photos
close ups with examples of the all close-ups of all the lugs, drop outs etcs... It would explain how to check tube diameters, get your seatpost size and the differences in threading plus how to look for head badge holes... think how fast people jump on ID threads when all the info is posted in the OP.... you open a thread like this kind of excited. see one non-drive photo of poor resolution and don't even bother to read the post and hit the back button, right?

This is not a rant. it is a good and honest suggestion.. Now I am going to hit the back button and see if we already have this and if I am an idiot.

To the OP, we lots of close up high res photos of all the junctions of the tubes and the dropouts, the top and bottom of the bottom bracket shell, you should look to see what size seatpost you have and check the headset and bottom bracket threading... Sheldon Brown (google it along with bike terms) is a good place to start if you need further explanation.
