It's really my pleasure! I'm just lucky you all decided to use my virtual garage to show off your bikes! :) Now if only I could get that virtual Faema machine going...

There are two albums on wooljersey to which every registered wooljersey gallery user can post:

http://www.wooljersey.com/gallery/Raysport http://www.wooljersey.com/gallery/cuevas

The idea being that anyone can contribute to these communal areas, dedicated to a marque. (Aldo, looks like one of your albums accidentally ended up in the Cuevas album.)

I like the idea - we could all build a group gallery of pics and information for a specific marque. What do you think? Suggestions for a third marque? The Gallery software will let you copy an album. So you could for instance post pics in a 1977-56cm-cuevas album (or joes_cuevas or whatever) of your own creation, under your own top-level album, then also copy 1977-56cm-cuevas to the communal cuevas album. It doesn't use any additional disk space, I don't believe.

If any of you would like accounts on http://www.wooljersey.com/gallery , please let me know. They're free, no strings attached, however there's always the possibility I may have to someday put discrete ads somewhere on the page. Wooljersey.com sits on a server I run with a couple other guys, comprising mostly hobby sites with a couple paying customers that keep the whole thing going along. We're co-located in a big ISP and pay for commercial bandwidth.

I'm going to be upgrading the gallery software soon, once I'm sure the upgrade is smooth. Shouldn't affect anyone or any existing albums adversely. I also hope to do something cool with http://wooljersy.com someday. Bob Freitas has a cool idea I'd like to work on.

I'll be posting pics of my recently completed '74 Masi soon, and also the 1970s Gitane tandem (Reynolds 531, TA cranks, mafac brakes) I picked up last night for $95! (Sorry, if you were the guy coming this afternoon to see it.)
