Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

^^^ You linked to the main pic page.
  • Get to the size pic that you want (from the main page, right-click the photo, select large/original/whatever)
  • On the page with the bigger size pic, right-click the pic and select 'Copy Image URL' (or the equivalent in your browser of choice)
  • Come back here, click on the little photo icon above the text box and paste the image URL in to the pop-up. It should give you something like this -

HTML Code:
[img]https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7172/6786641181_8f964e31fd_b.jpg[/img]
and it'll look like this -

I don't think you can. Just open up a Photobucket account and put all your photos there. Once they are in Photobucket, then all your have to do is copy and past the address. Boom!

Once it's "attached" to a BF post, he can use the same URL address when one clicks on the picture with these tags:

[IMG] https://www.bikeforums.net/attachment...0&d=1327993618 [/IMG]

And...hocus pocus!!!



(BTW...I like the red; Think about adding a red 11g seat post clamp,
45g skewers, stem/fork top cap & spacers to balance it out a bit.
I've seen that Scott in person...it is a beautiful machine and wicked light. Me likes.)

I agree with the red accents. Might want to consider red pedals also. Just added one of those thin red spacers to my headset and it really looks nice. It's amazing how little details really dress up a bike.

Very nice. Are you experiencing any issues with the seat post creaking? I sold my SLR01 due to issues with this. The 2012 now have a standard clamp system.

I can't remember if I've posted pics of my bikes in this thread before. I'm going to post them up anyway.



Felt B12 TT bike



Cervelo R3 SL that I used to have, stripped it and built an S-Works Tarmac (below)



Specialized Tarmac S-Works. I have the ZIpps on it now, I'll have to take a pic and post it up



Found a pic of the S-Works with the Zipps and of course the Felt TT bike with it



Here's my non S-Works Tarmac (running out of room for bikes in the garage!)

So many pretty new bikes, time for a beater! My childhood bike was oh so rusty, and I needed something no-one would steal at college. So, what any physics major with a drill (and a wire brush for it), lots of black paint, and a little white paint would do: make what is perhaps the bike that is least likely to be stolen at college.

Yeah.
And if those aren't DA or equally good brakes,
these Ultralight CNC's would be hot on that Scott...
