Deploy (3rd time a charm) complete. There's probably more little issues lurking, but I'll have to fix those as either ya'll or I come across them. My wrist is bothering me a little but here's a few highlights of the deploy:

1) Components can now have up to 6 photos!
2) All new photos will be resized to a slightly larger max size
3) the Add Comment text box is now hidden until you click 'add comment', freeing up a lot of space on the page for other things to come.
4) obviously the major visual update. The header image is set to change randomly, approximately every 10 page views. So it won't be changing every time you go from page to page, but will occasionally change.
5) a Brand now has "primarly focus" field. I'm going to need some help updating all of the existing brands (a couple hundred of them) with what their focus of production is. ie, Raleigh's would be Bicycle Frames, Cinelli would probably be stems & bars, while Clement would be tires.
6) split Fork Crowns from Lugsets in the Frame Parts area. Prep for Frames coming soon.
7) added an "all" option to the Brand Directory.
8) initial deployment of new Frame / Bicycle code. This is hidden to all but Moderators at the moment. I am going to be opening it for a few beta testers soon. if you want to help kick the tires, PM me here, or email me through VeloBase.com

9) PHOTO CREDIT! Geez, forgot all about this. (Thanks Kurt). I'm working on a way to update the existing photos, but not yet. New photos will require you to put in a source for the photo. Please enter this information truthfully to ensure there is no copyright problems with photos on the site. Thank you.

that's what I can remember off the top of my head. there's other stuff that's not really important, or isn't important quite yet. feel free to poke around: http://velobase.com
