Is the forum being dumb? Ha, silly question.

Was just the frame, so had to scrounge for a fork. Have a better fork coming to replace the one that's on there.

I really think you need to swap out the red bits for hot pink... :)

I used what I had loose on hand for it, may eventually, but will likely go with black. Another note, this is the first bike I have had that has some sort of internal routing.

......one of the kids at the co-op got one of these Nishiki wishbone stayed bikes a couple of months ago. He was doing some head scratching, but it was mostly complete. It was the first one I'd seen, and I remember it seemed pretty light when I picked it up.

FYI, I just sent a message to BillyD and Dannihilator about the problems I am seeing with MS Edge. I thought you guys should know about the two new ones I have seen this morning:

1) I can't insert a hyperlink into a post automatically. I have to go to "Advanced" and engage the URL function to do it.
2) I often get a message when leaving a page that my changes will be lost even when I haven't typed in anything on that page. Previously I only got that message when I had typed a reply but not "sent" it.
3) I was unable to start a new thread this morning. After typing my input and hitting submit or whatever, I got the same error message as in #2 above. Even though I HAD hit "submit" or "send". When I said I did want to leave the page, my input was lost and I got the "too short" error message.

Chrome is working more normally under Windows 10.

Did you tell Microsoft too?

Great shot BillyD - I'm just learning how to use a new camera that should improve my success rate with birds in flight. In the meantime, here's a Rough-legged Hawk from last winter.

10 hours left on my Bianchi auction on the bay. Zero bids. Ten watchers. We'll see... It was sitting at 6 watchers for a long time and jumped to 10 overnight.

This is what I'm thinking. If it's just a Windoze 10 thing - pffft.

It felt stable when I rode it last night.

Nice shot. Roughies can be real cool. I got some great shots of a light-phase last year, this year I'll be focusing on the dark-phase, which are even more gorgeous birds.

No, seriously. I see no record of that thread or any record that it was erased. It might be victim to the recent system hiccups. No idea when they will be resolved.

Start the thread again.

I'm disappointed that it hasn't taken off a little more... :(

Yeah, they said they could do this all night. I guess they lied. :(

Today feels like a flop so far.

Nothing wrong with using a MS browser ...to download Chrome or Firefox.

If a website, like MS SharePoint that we use for work, requires that I use a MS Browser, then I just use the IE Tab extension built into Chrome.

Honestly, Chrome is pretty much all you need.
