The format you used to insert a link to a photo doesn't work on this site. You can insert a link using the user friendly button and subsequent prompts that show up in the tool bar when you create a post. On the other hand it's easier just to put the physical link in the post and let the reader pick and choose what they want to go see (especially with a large selection of photos).

Be aware that some sites will restrict access to the photo(s) if it generates too much traffic. I don't know about the photobucket policy.

JC,

Max Merritt has Brake Spring Kits, likely that other vendors do too. Go to the 35-39 Senior Catalog then type Brake Spring into the search description.

The pic's in the links are great, particularly like the one below, but don't think it's your "best side"! Also like the solution to loading some weight onto the frame.
