Underneath the box where you type your text there is another box titled "Additional Options". In this box there is an area with the header, "Attach Files" with a button titled, "Manage Attachments". Click that button and a new window opens up. Use the Browse button to find your pic on your computer and then click the upload button. Here's a pic of my uncrashed bike.

It's not supposed to look like that?
All these curvy tube frames these days...
I can't tell which ones are supposed to be
there and which ones aren't. :)

I think that's the Serotta team van on a double extra secret undercover mission, re-badged with stealth decals! They didn't show the rest of the pic cause they didn't want the drivers face seen........... ;)

Interesting thing is, IMO, if you look at where the 4 crumple points happen. They're right at the point where the tubes flare/flair out: front and back of the top tube, top and bottom of the down tube. Interesetng in that the flairing is supposed to increase stiffness, but if that's where the crumple occurs I'd think it's because the material's thinner and weaker at those very points.

On the other hand, it does look more like a De Rosa Tango now.
