Still can't manage to upload photos of my bike, oh well never mind.
The main difference I've found is this is the first bike I've ever had that fits me properly. Being vertically challenged (5ft 5in) I was constantly trying different stem lengths but would never feel totally comfortable, the RST is different. It is also the first bike that I've had where toe overlap isn't an issue, credit to the designers for coming up with a superbly functional, sprightly and comfortable machine. Weight wise it is a couple of pounds heavier than my Super Galaxy at 34 pounds and as far as I can tell it feels about as fast, I'll be able to compare times when I commute to work next week.
I was a bit apprehensive waiting for the bike to arrive wondering if I'd chosen the right gearing (40x17) and handlebars but my fears were unfounded as both are perfect and the Ergon GP-1 grips are fantastic.
I'm trying to think of some negatives but I honestly can't think of any, possibly slight noise in gears 1-7 but it doesn't bother me at all.
I can't see myself ever going back to a derailleur equipped bike again. You can see why Thorn offer a 100 day money back guarantee.
Neil, you need an external photo account to link to photos. Do you have one, such as flickr, etc?
If you do, then you simply upload the photos to that account, and when you view them, here should be a button next to the photo called 'share' or similar. Clicking that should give you the location of the image, which will start with 'http://', and it will end with the photo name, something like 'xxxx.jpg'. You them simply copy the image address, and go back to your forum post, click on the 'Insert Image' button, and when it puts the 'IMG and /IMG tags on the post, you insert the photo address between them.
So it should look summat like this inside the two IMG tags:
"
http://photo hosting site name/example.jpg" but without the double quotes.
I notice from your original post, being rather geeky for a minute, that you appear to be a mac user judging by the fact that your image is located in iphoto. There is a facility in iphoto to post images direct to your flickr account if you have one.
You can't simply upload images to the forum.
I say all of this because, apart from being a geek, I want to see your RST as it's the same colour as mine!!!
hope this helps.
