You were trying to post up the entire photo library in one go instead of each individual picture. Each pic will have a code for a direct listing, something ending in .jpg and then you need to click the Img button above where you type in the text to post on these forums which will produce the tag .

So it should look something like this as an example:

(just remove the spaces at the start and end of the http & .jpg for it to work.

Hope this makes sense?

Cheers mate, much appreciated !

Thanks Timmo, some duly ordered. Unfortunately out of gold, so ordered some blue with gold centres.

allthegearnoidea

No worries matey!!
Everyone needs some bling on the bike!!! I've got red ones on mine (avatar pic when they were new) and Love them!! So much nicer to look at!! And with the price I paid a few years ago ( pretty much the same as the link and postage) makes them cheaper than the std shimano ones!

Offshorenath: What do you think to the bearings on the nano pedals?!

I got the same ones (same colour too!) just before xmas, only ridden them a few times but they still feel a bit sticky even after applying lube!

Sexy! I tried putting a black and white KMC chain on mine, but it's too thick :x

Is it true? Does the gold make you feel faster?

Waaaay faster ! In fact with some cnc jockey wheels on aswell I don't now how i'll be able to hold on !

Personally, bling isn't my thing, but if you're going to do it, may as well be consistent so I'd get rid of those grips. I know contrast is a good thing usually, but not in this case.

Something like this might be better - http://www.sbrsports.com/1011/140-212046

Oh, and get the blue seatclamp changed too

Sorry to hijack the thread, but these have tempted me.. is that for one wheel? (So I'd have to order 2, right?)

Damn you lot... making me think about chainring bolts and jockey wheels and other little bling bits!! :twisted: Thanks really though...

allthegearnoidea

stav, yeah thats for 1,

gold bling make you faster?? Hell Yeah!! 8)

Beardface

Lol, cheers mate.. thought as much, but just wanted confirmation!

I'd be going for red too methinks.. (it'd match the bike best.. maybe a gold chain soon though, mine is wearing down!)

Offshorenath -

Those gold bolts look brill!!!! Although curse you all for talking about all these coloured bolts, im gonna have to splash out now!!! =D

Just outta interest where can i find these gold chains? and the black and white one for that matter=)

And are those mavic crossride wheels on your bike?

allthegearnoidea

glod chains are KMC X9L /SL parkers have the X9L gold for £25, ebay has a lot but are more pricey and the sl's are a bit more too!!

On the subject of bike bling Balfa are selling Dangerboy CNCd levers for £20.00 (half price).

I've just ordered a pair in red. I'd been looking at them for a while but couldn't stomach the £40.00 price tag.1

Nice Chain

Hey, cool, going to have me some of those too... I tweaked one of my levers a while back, been meaning to get a new one but that's a better price. Cheers!

Good choice of chain though...

Hi mate,
both the gold bolts and KMC chain were from chain reaction cycles. They are mavic crossrides and i've been quite impressed with them, though I am considering splashing some cash on a new set, maybe hope pro 3 spxc6 with stans 355's. Mmmmmm..... Now how can i hide them from the wife...
