That's a good question.
I know that if you just change the image tag dimensions without changing the actual photo dimensions then things get scary.
Usually it equates to huge photos taking forever to load on the page even though they look small.
Kind of weird that Flickr doesn't offer an 800x600 option.

I just want to say that when I thought about whether to enter in this build off, I looked at the bikes in the previous build offs and thought, I can do this. this time you guys have taken it to a higher level. last build off I may have had a chance, this one I'm not so sure. I'm kinda feelin like you guys were sandbaggin before. I'm gonna have to see if I can't pull something out. is it because I'm form the cabe? you can't have some purist like me even make it to the top ten? as we keep moving to the finish, you guys sure are ramping it up. Godzilla doesn't go down easy!

sheeeeeeeeeshhhh....id say youve got a great chance at being in the top 10.....37fleetwood said:
as for the level of the builds weve just had more time to think of what we were going to do this year(that and theres been lots who lurked and then signed up here thatve swapped from other forms) but yeah the level of the builds have gone up quite a bit and personally im happy about that(it keeps us all thinking 'what can i do that hasnt been done?' 'is this what i want it to represent?' 'can i actually build this?' etc.etc.etc......)if we dont use our ideas our minds stagnate and then the hobby(for lack of a better word!) suffers
personally id like to say thanks for everyone entering! i know ive had a blast and love seeing everyones ideas come to fruition :mrgreen:

i think if you build the bike you want instead of building the bike you think would win, you cant be disappointed, doesnt mean you cant pull out all the tricks at the same time though :mrgreen:
and you definatley havent made it easy to win Scott :wink:

You guys are talking loser talk! lol j/k. This years build has been amazing. Everyone has done an excellent job creating some really beatiful machines. I'm glad that there is more people joining the site and bring something new and fresh. Hopefully in the near future this site can be one of the top sites for bike enthusiast around the world! 
Everyone should be proud of what they made. Honestly there is no losers here. So pat yourselves on the back!

first to CCR, I built exactly the bike I wanted and like it very much! :mrgreen: and I still have a few tricks yet to pull out of my bag.chimichanga said:
next to Chimichanga, I have no intention of losing just trying to be humble. Godzilla is still gonna smash y'all just a shame that they're all so pretty.
finally this is one of only a couple bike sites I bother with at all and I'm pretty picky!

I have a question about paint, "Must be applied by builder". I was gonna enlist the kids to paint the rims, but I didn't wanna get black flagged. I am painting the rest.
I think that refers to sending it out, like powdercaoting...
Don't panic, but 4 days to go guys! CRUNCH TIME!!!!! :shock:
you can almost smell the spray paint flying
Ha yeah, I got some clear coat to apply, I hope it's dry in time to take it for a ride and get some new pics....

and how many days is the voting open for ?
I hope it's midnight on sunday. I'm gunna need it.
after talking to karfer in the chat room I realized it's way too late to clear coat... Gotta just get it together and take some pictures. Good luck to everyone else in the last minute crunch!
(by the way, I was only going to clear-coat the couple of spray-painted parts, not the whole frame Sorry for the confusion)
