That is a very cool bike you built there. The Schwinn era is where I started also. I was fortunate to not have to go the gussett route. I was a little easier on my bikes. (not like Mel) :lol:

As for your picture posting problems...you are going to have to figure out how to 'resize' your photos. They need to be sized down a bit so the site host can handle them easily. It is fairly easy to do but it depends on your computer skill level.

I started doing it on Photobucket but now I do it right on my own computer. Let me know if you need any help with that.

Looks great! That is what I need to build as well. My 1st bmx bike was a Flamoyant Lime 64 Stingray with an mx kit.

You can also set your camera to a smaller size, and after you snap pics there is no need to resize them. You can just upload them.

Nice bike!
