Again with the binary posts. Usenet shouldn't be so hard to figure out.
Binary posting goes with binary domains like groups called "alt.binaries.somethingorother". If it's not a binaries group it's discourtious to post images directly. It is acceptable to post links, however. Just set up a free account at a site like Photobucket, post your images there and post the image link here. Also, many of us pay for metered bandwidth to access Usenet and downloading huge images costs ¢¢¢. Even the Usenet photogroups I subscribe to, which are binary groups, request file sizes under 200kb, although there has been file size creep and some ppl post 300kb to 500kb files, and with the code overhead, your posts are over 3600kb. Image posting needn't be rocket science. Here's how that works...a photo of my Earthcycles Sunset number 15/18. http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m...t/IMG_0003.jpg gotbent, aka FRT rider. |

What brand of work-stand and clamp is that? -- Tom Sherman - 42.435731,-83.985007 LOCAL CACTUS EATS CYCLIST - datakoll Hi Tom, The stand is a Park PCS 9. The only drawback to the stand is the free to pivot legs. There're built in stops, but if you somehow manage to unbalance the stand so it wants to fall over backwards, just putting a foot on one of the legs won't stop the catastrophe. The retaining clip that holds the jaw pivot pin managed to vanish, but until Park sent me a free replacement, I used a bit of twist tie wrapped around the groove in the pivot pin as a retainer and it worked. I don't know how the current model in the product line works, though. The Sunset and my Trice fit into the clamp quite easily, but mounting the Speedmachine takes some creativity. Doesn't it seem that orange was the most common color? NoCal Zach, Chitown Freddy, Grasshopper and you all have orange models and I think under the corroplast the Rev. Bruce's is orange too. I think there was even a pink one in Canada before it came to Chicago for a brief stay. gotbent, aka FRTrider. |

But orange is by far the most common color. -- Tom Sherman - 42.435731,-83.985007 LOCAL CACTUS EATS CYCLIST - datakoll |
