:( No can see the picky :(

I would be jealous, if I hadn't found a DY the right size for me (and I think Fungus was glad I had realized my previous DY was too small for me :) )
I feel like Captain Kirk, on a brand new planet every day, a little like King Kong on top of the Empire State

Piccy is on OP's own computer and needs to be put on Flickr or similar before we can see it.
Lovely day for a new bike though...

Lovely colour, I am guessing, from the teasing photos, that it is a mixte/step thru frame?

HOW did you do that with the pic? I'm such a dweeb.
YES it's PINK! It is just the prettiest thing ever. It's a mixte (although strictly speaking not, as it has a single top tube... so almost step through) and Dave let me make my own colour and everything. A perfect experience from start to finish. What a lovely man.
Here it is on my sofa with Freddie the cat.

Please someone explain how I get my pics to show up on  my posts?
Thank you!

In flickr, right click the picture and then select one size. When that opens up, right click it, select properties, then copy the URL (which ends in jpg). Then place that URL in between the image tags.
(img) and (/img) except that you use square brackets not curvy ones.
Does that make sense ?

I know, it's a real crazy cat lady fail. But, his nose and toes are very pink! I wish I could get my pics to show up...

You're excused on account of your bike frame is so damn cool.

Almost. Change the button below the box of code from 'html' to 'BBCode' before you copy it and I think you're there :)

Still no .jpg on the end of that URL.



I pasted the URL from your post into my browser, then clicked on the photo, then right click, chose a size and clicked the size I wanted. Right clicked the resulting picture and then copied the URL.
