Load them up to Photobucket.com (follow their instructions). When you have them there, right click on the pick, copy the URL Link, come here, click on the icon to the left of the film real above this post box (the picture box), when that box pops up, "paste" the URL Link from Photobucket that you copied and hit close that box out. Done.
Keep your pics to a manageable size 400 X 500 max.

Nice!
Don't matter, you're hear now! Have some Kool Aid and relax!
The Kool Aid sure is good, LOL, but I don`t know if I`m riding it or it`s riding me? This bike wants to be ridin hard. I found out that the harder you ride it, the funner it is. I still cann`t believe how much difference between the Synapse and this. Don`t get me wrong the Synapse is a very good bike and my first road bike in a very,very long time. It is a good cruising road bike, but this bike just want you to try and unleash the Kracken out of it as 2ndGen would like to say and I see why now Its the best bike I ever had.

My first road bike - straight into The Cult!
Having ridden mountain bikes for years, I have taken my first plunge into the world or road bikes. After many weeks of research I settled on a CAAD 8 105....
It may not be a 9 or a 10, but I love my new bike!
Fast, responsive, awesome handling... Did I say I love my new bike?!

And I'd rather have an 8 than any other bike in it's range!
I like it a lot. Welcome to The Cult!

Will the ENVE fork 2.0 fit the same as the Ultra on a 56cm CAAD9 frame? Also what does the original weigh? If its under a doller per gram im in for a new fork. Assuming it rides the same or better and has the same rake and lenth etc.

You lose about 250g (OEM 567g),
it's stiffer and handles better and
it rides way better than the OEM Ultra.
And, under $1./gram savings is not reasonable.
But it comes in at about $1.24/gram saved.

Thanks! Yeah I loved the colour scheme of this one too... After I saw it, no other bike seemed cool enough and I just kept coming back to it! Even the knowledge that the white bar bar tape would barely last 5 minutes wasn't enough to dissuade me
