Default Hello from central florida

So I have been working on my bike project for about 6 months now. The bike is coming along great, just wish I could post some before and after pics. I have enjoyed reading everyone threads. The guys on here have helped me out a lot, thanks to all. I'm taking my time with this one, it's my first and I want it right. When I got the idea to try this on a bike I started looking for a older steel frame. After about 3 weeks of looking I came across a older gentaleman that had this older rusted out bike. I asked him how much he would take for it, he said "$10", I said "sold", lol. I can't wait to take it back by and show him the work i put into the bike. It's a mid '70s Sears and Roebuck single speed.

Welcome to the forum. We're glad you've joined us. That old Sears sounds like a great project and a sturdy foundation for a motorized bicycle. Send us some before and after pictures. Good luck and we're all here to help in any way we can.
By the way, are you in or near Ocala?
Tom

So how do I post some pics on here, any clues?? I looked at edit profile, attatchments, and so on. As you can see my profile pic didn't come out to good. I don't have any pics that darn small, lol

If ya don't wanna mess with programs like Photoshop or w/e - one of the easiest solutions is to use an external host such as Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket which has quite a few "edit" features like cropping, resizing, etc and provides the [img] tags as a quick link for your convenience.

For uppin' full size pics and not swampin' peoples bandwidth - click the "go advanced" button under the message box, scroll almost alla way down and you'll see a "manage attachments" button. Click it and it'll offer you the choice of uppin' pics from yer puter and/or from an external host like 'bucket.

Welcome to the forum pwrobleski, good ta have ya here and we're lookin' forward to those pics
