Yup, all of you! You kept talking and squalking and CARBON-this and CARBON-that. I have a carbon something-or-other. I just bought a carbon what-cha-ma-call-it.

I saw it and just HAAAAAAD to have it.

So, now it begins. The hunt.... for that which is CARBON! Mooohahhahahhahha!!!!!

THANKS guys!

Oh, btw - updated my Gallery pics again. Nothing horribly interesting. Just more pics of my bike and me blabbing.

Hey, two months without an update? Geez, i'm slipping! [smiley=laughing.gif]

Okay. Done.

Oh MAN!!! That stupid little box!

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaave?!?!??!??!? What on Earth am I doing wrong? Help?

Oh, just go to the second page of my Gallery. It's a carbon seatpost. So much for the build-up!

Here you go...

Now, I just have to fix my avatar... (It's been here so long that I had it saved on MTBR.com! i.e. I put it here before we even had galleries! I guess the link finally expired...)

THANKS Matt! You da man!

So, how'd you do dat, anyways?

What's the before and after part?

Damn, that carbon stuff is sexy, huh? Mmmmmm, carboooooon. Arrhgrhghghgrhg.

You just click on the "

" icon.

Then you can go to your picture in your gallery, right click it, and "copy image location" (not "copy link") or in the alternative, right click the picture then properties and copy the URL. Paste that link in between the two bracketed "img"s and VOILA! (Does that explain it?)

frankd how did the cable routing go?

Frankd3000 · « **Reply #6 on:** October 14, 2005, 05:22:21 pm »

Alright, that's wierd - I think.

When I do it I use the "IMG" and "/IMG" on either end of the URL that appears when i'm looking at the actual picture in the gallery. I use the copy/paste method from IE's address bar.

"img"http://idriders.com/cgi-bin/album_k2.pl?photo=frankd3000/IMG_1501_resize.JPG"/img"

Of course, the quotations would be substitued with the square shaped brackets. Is that not what you're talking about as an end result? I've never seen the "copy image location" as an option. [smiley=blankstare.gif]

Kiwi - the cable routing went well. I'm very satisfied with the results. Check out the second page of my gallery to get an idea of what I did. I could NOT go through the s/arm - no way. That inner cable housing is bonded so i'm not touching it. I just zip-tied it. I can officially say that I DO notice less friction in the RD's operation while shifting. [smiley=nod.gif]

Martha Stewart say's "that's a good thing". Frank say's "Yeah. Give 'er!" [smiley=laughing.gif]

Sorry, the "copy image location" is a Firefox option.

In IE, you have to go through the properties. The difference between what you were trying to link to and what I linked is that I used the picture's actual location, whereas you were trying to link to the gallery page, which doesn't work.

Frankd3000 · « **Reply #9 on:** October 15, 2005, 03:30:25 am »

Hhmmmmmm. The difference is that IE uses a cgi-bin, whereas the properties are really from Proflex. Interesting.

Okay. THANKS guys!!!!!

And I like my sexy new carbon seatpost, too.
