They are. 640x480 JPEG ain't big.

From the dyndns.org link I'm guessing they're at the end of a DSL connection and tiermat is finding out just how many people browse this forum :)

I'd suggest hosting them on Flickr, Imageshack or similar.

I didn't say "resize", I said "compress" - those images are approx. 3mb each.

They're not, they're 3000x2000, and 3MB. Its just the size on this page is specified as 640x480. Which is why they take ages to load and look a bit rubbish quality, as they're being resized by your browser.

Here's my Longstaff audax bike, recently rebuilt after a respray. It used to be turquoise, but I'm going for classy black on all my bikes now.



Spec is: Open Pro rims on Hope rear and SON front hubs. Dura Ace shifters and transmission. Nitto bars and stem. Ultegra brakes and seatpost.



I think this is the best looking bike here so far. Reason? it's the forks, I like the fork blades to have the bend in a nice smooth curve at the bottom just above the dropouts.

Eg my bike:

I don't. I don't like the extended head tube, the position of the STis, the fact it has STis, the height of the bars, it just looks wrong.

Yep.

Shouldn't have put the touring chainset on. Less chainring clearance you see. I dropped the chain off the inside of the bottom ring, and it got jammed between the chainset and the frame.  :-X

I rode 50 miles before noticing the damage so hopefully it'll be OK. But I'll be keeping an eye on it. 

At least it explains the chain jumping.  :thumbsup:

And post them on the internet,

Please excuse the blurry pics,
they're not a pretty sight;
I'll have another go sometime,
in somewhat better light.
