You used https://imgur.com/Y07zLYs as the photo link, it should be... https://i.imgur.com/Y07zLYs.jpg
You want the link with the "jpg" on the end.
Or, easier yet, underneath the photo there's a "get embed code" option. Click that link and use the BBCode (message boards and forums) link on the left. This will automatically put the "[img]" tags around the photo link. Basically (no quotes) "[img]"photo . jpg (no spaces)"[/img]" (no quotes, but that back slash is very important for the second img text. Hopefully that makes sense.
In the end, you get this:

Here she is all back together after a thorough cleaning, new cables, brake pads, etc. Felt good. (Sorry for phone pics...)

Decided to do red tape this time, since it matches the new saddle. Old Specialized Body Geometry finally wore out, and the Selle Italia felt good in comparison. Much lighter too.

You posted the link to the imgur page with the photo on it, but not the direct link to the photo. I think you did everything correctly, other than selecting the direct link.

I tested a bunch of rides...Tarmac sl4 di2...cannondale super six, among the top of the list. but this stood out. Also cheaper that these...under $5k. The ride is redic...super stiff...I'm a big dude so I can flex a stiff frame. Fuji was the last brand on my list, but when I saw it in person I was sold...it's so fast.

Just picked this 2013 Trek madone 4.5 in April this year. So far has about 900 miles on it and is holding up well to the fat engine that rides it. The red/white has grown on me as I was not too thrilled about the color scheme when I purchased it. I was going more for the most bike for my budget.
