Funny Band on Frank's JDM Clocks

[AshimotoK0]

Looks Like Frank has sold the JDM 750K0 that I saw for sale at Lotherton Hall VJMC Show last summer for 16k . It was 10k ONO at lotherton.  At the time it had a different (not Yamiya or original) seat on it and 'scripted' modern DID rims. Looks like a low style Yamiya seat on it now.

I noticed at the time it had a funny looking ring around the clock lenses which are still on it. At first I thought it had been fitted with Lecram's lenses and mounted upside down but probably just a ring of something to hide some blemish/glue.

It's a nice bike (was 'madjack' on Ebay's) but I thought 10k was a bit much never mind 16k

TRIED TO UPLOAD PIC STEVE BUT GOT UPLOAD FOLDER FULL ERROR

[SteveD CB500K0]

Sorry about the upload folder. I've been out all day and have been getting emails from the hosting company saying the disk is full and I'll have to buyer space.
I can't do that right now so please hang on for a couple of days.
You guys have been pretty generous with donations so there's no problem in paying for more space.
Just remember that uploading a 3Mb camera picture is a waste of space as we don't have screens capable of displaying them!

What is the optimum size for pictures please Steve.
i assume 72 dpi but what is max or optimum pixel width.
Cheers Rich

[SteveD CB500K0]

I'll write a FAQ on this but the 72dpi is a bit of a myth as most people now have HD screens and tablets and smartphones offer 250dpi+ now!
I always resize to 1024 on the horizontal axis as this generally gives a file size of ~200k and looks good on any screen.
Unfortunately, most cameras now default to 3840 which is OK if you have a massive screen but just wasted storage space.

As you can see, most of my forum time is on a mobile and I have an old iPhone 4.
Anyone else using the new version of Tapatalk?
I have uploaded a forum banner photo of one of E's K2s

Come on get with it you two. Steve yeah I'm using tapatalk (have been for past two years). Looking good.

Graham / Ralph. It's a program (app) on smart phones (iphones, android phones etc) that is designed to make using forums like this very easy.

Amongst other things you can upload photos directly from your phone without having to dick about with cameras, pc's, transferring files etc...

You can also quickly switch between forums and subscribe to threads etc...

All i know is that when i try to get on the forum using my phone. Tapatalk keeps coming up over the whole screen. Hit it a few time with my caveman club before it goes away

Must admit, although I programme on a PC for the test rigs I build for my business, I too am a bit of a caveman when it comes to mobiles (fed up with fixing them too for nothing). Have you noticed that you used to see couples in pubs staring into space all night looking bored with each other ... now they are all still not talking to one another much  but tapping on iphones all night.

James .... will this app auto reduce the the file size uploaded to say 200k  from say a a 1 Meg jpg file?
Also what is the best PC app (low cost) to reduce all of the massive scans of magazines I have. My scanner is great but to get a decent image of really old, yellowed pages, I find I have to use high res scanning which creates massive files. i have lots to sahre will people on here but presently I have to put them on Dropbox as massive , individual files. A single .pdf file would be ideal.

Back to the original post, here is the picture.

No it won't Ash. Quite the opposite if you are not careful. It takes the picture off your phone (which was originally taken at multi-megabit size...

When you txt a picture, the message app asks what resolution/filesize you would like to send. Why can't Tapatalk do that.

I'll ask them...

[Bitsa (Ralph Wright - RIP)]

Frac does that mean I have to buy a mobile James?

I'm still using my dated laptop...If it's not broken, they why fix it.
Ash, I too saw the bike at 'Lotherton' to me it looked a bit tied and not worth the 10K. The bike that is now sold  has definitely been stripped and re-built...don't think I'd pay 16K, but still a rear bike.

Agree Al but it's still got the 'scripted rims' on it and those dodgy looking clocks. I think at the time it had the K0 seat cover on it that I sold him on eBay. There was a  Blue K6 next to it at Lotherton ... now that was  nice!

After my son went with me to Newark in January   he's going to go to Stafford with me next time ... so no more 'Billy No Mates"
