check out my ride....

JC.152

Only spotted this topic today so I thought I'd put my bike up, but I think it gets beat easily by that white Focus but its good enough for me, in road races, time trials and training in summer so its pretty much does everything.

Its still almost as I got it put I do have plans to put a proper chainset on it and maybe improve it with some white and carbon

Go to a website such as www.imageshack.us

On this particular website you will see these kind of options:


First, click the Browse button. From there, find the picture on your computer. Once you have done that, you can choose to resize the image if you like. In my example above I chose to resize it to 640x480 but its entirely up to you. All this does is shrink down the image a little bit, which is handy if your picture is quite large.

After, press the 'host it' button. After a few seconds, you should see that your picture has been uploaded. What you need to do now is scroll down to the bottom and you should see these options:


What you need to do is copy the address next to the bottom option, the one which says 'direct link to image'.

Now, come back to these forums and start a new post or continue editing one if you already started. What you need to do is click the 'Img' button above the text box where you enter your message. It will insert a start tag in square brackets. Now paste in the address that you copied from the imageshack.us website, and finally press the 'Img' button again, this will close the tag.

Once you've done all that, it should look like this:

Now when you post your message, it should include your picture!!

Hope this helps for some people

Here is my Ribble Winter bike that I received today:



And here is my Focus Cayo Expert:



Hoping to have my nice shiny Dura-Ace 7850 wheels on soon

I've got full details of my bikes on a page of my blog. If you want you can check it all here.

You must be really tall, like 7ft, the headtube on my ribble winter frame is tiny compared to that.

sibx

Its a 60cm frame. I'm 6'1" but I have stupidly long legs for my height (measured at 37.5" inside leg) and equally long arms.

The Focus is also a 60cm frame but look at the difference in how much seat post I have to have showing on it. I tend to get a bit of back ache on 100 mile rides because of it

sibx

Wow, I just checked the pic of your Ribble bike and you are right. That is an amazing difference :shock:

What size frame is it?

It's a 50cm, I reckon the 55cm top tube is slightly too long though, but I'm only 5'8 (ish).

sibx

Ahh so thats where the huge difference comes in then. I was starting to worry that my bike was in fact some kind of monstrosity

The top tube is definitely long compared to other models though. I didn't feel as stretched out on my Focus.

Frustration itself:



I'm in London with this lot, my tools are in Worthing

Oh, and the seatpost is only that high because it's not inserted properly, and the wheels are coming soon (hopefully!) 8)

giant_man

Can't see the name on the tubing mate, Enigma or Planet X or something else?

Rich-Ti

Omega Enigma is the frame - second hand off of here, and LUSH! 8)

Too much white? The more I look at it the more I think of putting my red Vreds on it. :?



Just needs the stem flipped back to neutral and if the front bottle boss can be fixed another Centaur cage adding.

Nothing wrong with a lot of white, but your bar tape is going grey already - get some white Fizik tape and it stops white for ages.

That's after only four rides and with brand spanking new mitts as well.

sibx

I was tempted to get white tape on my Focus but I'm not really sure if it would go hehe. Or red, but I think that might be too tacky. Thoughts? Pic is a few posts up.

If you can get the correct shade of red I think it might be rather good.

That's a mighty purdy bike Laga, do you ever take her out?
