I am new, to this forum. I have made a good many posts but I am still having trouble posting pictures. I have been using the “icon” that looks like a landscape, is this the appropriate icon for inserting pictures? I tend to get gigantic pictures that are very difficult to work around. I checked out the information on posting pictures and it seems to suggest I need to insert pictures in albums and post them from there. I tried that and seem to get the same result?

aka: Mike J.
lately I’ve been using an iphone app called imgur which seems to be working well enough for me for photo sharing. Upload the pic, capture the share link, paste the link into the image upload url box here, resizes after it posts.

Thanks Treebound,
I use an app called Acorn on my Mac. I only have my iPad with me now. I looked up Imgur on the app store. There seems to be an Imgur browser and a Mime & GIF Maker too. Not sure either of those will do the job?

Here's my 2018 Specialized Diverge Comp with a few accessories. Bought it a little over 3 months ago. Just washed the dust and grime off of it.

Here's My Latest
.
Pashley Path Racer - built from an early `70s Pashley Roadster - called a "Scorcher"
This bike will eventually get a Sturmey Archer internal geared hub, but for the moment it is a nice, lightweight, comfy single-speed.
That beautiful, slack frame soaks up all the bumps and potholes in our roads and paths.
Pashley is like the Rolls Royce of bicycles. Still hand-built in Stratford-upon-Avon, birthplace of Shakespeare. But I don't think he rode one....

Oh what the hell - I know I've put this up on other threads, but may as well update the frame only pic on this one. 
I'm barely in the 50+ club. 52 at time of posting, but love the look and feel of a nicely made steel frame. This one is a pro frame (not TVM issue, but some other European pro) from 1990 with a tasty mix of modern components. Rides like a dream. I get the panache of my nostalgic attachment to Italian steel (cue Breaking Away) with the functionality of modern components.
This hits my sweet spot

Mostly my 2018 Diverge Comp. Got it just over a month ago and I've put almost 900 miles on it. I'm loving it!

It is the Silver Comet Trail which runs west from Atlanta to the Alabama border where it becomes the Chief Ladiga Trail.
Together they are 96 miles total length, the second longest paved trail in the US.
There is a Silver Comet Trail Photo thread in the Southeast forum.

LOOK KG281 rebuild
I put my 2001 LOOK away over 5 years ago but recently decided to build it back up. I have 2 other road bikes that are lighter and offer a smoother ride but this is also a nice riding bike.
