My rig

Hmm,
Thought I might start a post so we can proudly display our rigs. Can't seem to attach a photo though.... Any ideas??
Yes the pic is under 100k and it is in jpeg format??

Yeah, I'd like to post a pic, too. I cannot figure it out how to upload a pic. There is a button in the message compose screen with "IMG" on it. When hit, it asks for a "http://" text. That's as far as I can go. Would be good if someone showed me how to.

You can add a link to an image by putting in the URL as you just mentioned, but you should be able to attach the image without referring to another location. It lets you browse the file and locate it but when you preview or post, it doesnt include the image!!

The IMG bit you are talking about is different from what I am talking about. The IMG bit allows you to refer to a URL. eg you might have a pic on a web server somewhere or under your free web space with your isp.
There is a browse button that you press to attach an image, but it just won't show it when you preview or post it!!!!

OK, I worked it out. The pic has to be smaller than 600 x 600. What you have to do is edit the pic down to size. Then attach.
So what do you think of my rig??
Trek 5900
Custom Formula 1 paint job
All D/A
Does not weigh much at all!!

Nice bike braso. How much was the paint job?

The seatpost is interesting, i've never seen one like that before with the bend in it. Looks as though there is no setback at the top though to compensate.

Ah, could start taking tech, but I'll go for first impressions and say it looks yummy. The paintwork is sublime.

Ahh, I can't keep this up any longer!!
Alas that is not my bike. I saw the photo on ebay yesterday under some dodgy auction for $2400, clearly a fraudulent one. If I had a lazy 10k lying around, I would certainly get one though.
For what it's worth, here is my actual rig.
Trek 5200 with D/A and Ultegra.
cheers

Its really bad form to post binaries to a non binaries newsgroup and some ISP's won't allow it.

This is a good idea though, why not start a yahoo group this would allow a photo gallery

Whoa! That's hot!

I love it. Did you get TREK stickers, or you avoided paining over the main stickers on the down tube?

I'm gonna try sending a pic of one of my bikes. Let's see. I have reduced the size to 50% (Just below 600X600).

As far as I know, this newsgroup (like many) are non-binary - that means it's a no-no to attach ANY files to
a posting.

As well as that, a lot of news servers (such as mine) will strip off any attached files that are
included in a post.

Which means that I don't get to see any attachments at all - not even virii.

How many times do you have to be told? This is a non-binary news group. Attaching anything to a post
is a big no no. It's likely to get you reported to your ISP. It can lead to your account being
canned. Do not do it.

Boy Richard you sound like a fun kind of guy!!
FYI this is the first I have heard of it being a non binary newsgroup. If you are not to attach images, then why are there facilities to do so on the forum boards???
No need to be so, for the sake of a better word 'bitchy' about the whole thing. I think you need to take a few deep breaths, chill out and maybe you will avoid having a stroke dude.
Anyway my $0.02
