How about we get some more header images? Looks like you already have it set up to rotate images and I have seen the same ones over and over again for years now.

How about a competition? Email in pictures with mbl logo and correct dimensions in to the admins or post them on a thread and everyone votes or something along those lines. I feel like we need more bike photos and this allows everyone to help out.

Just my two cents...

There's a thread in this forum somewhere with the exact specs.

Apparently from right clicking the image, it's 717x231px, though I'll probably be changing that by Monday :)

I'd prefer to add the logo and do the actual optimizing myself... So a larger image that's cropped to the same ratio would be cool.

Well, I figured I get off my ass and do something.

This is my pic from a cyclo-cross race, I think the logo would look great on the left side:


These a from this thread, figured I chopped them up but not sure which one I like more. If bjorn says no then I will remove these pics. I played with the darks a bit on both, let me know if they don't look right on other monitors.

For the second two, I know that bjorn had sent me a copy he'd cropped with the logo on but somewhat cut off and all in B&W including the logo. IIRC, he was going to send me new ones, but that was a few days ago, I think we both got distracted by other things...

I'll try to get the finish from the cross race up tomorrow, I don't have time today...

Looking good. New logo looks sweet, too.

You know, we already have one photo of biker guys in underwear in the rotation, so I might just replace that one... Don't want people to get the wrong idea about the site, you know?

It looks like the photo got re-sized on upload - I'll try to get that disabled, I don't remember where it happens in the forum code. I'd need to get a decent res version emailed to jeremy dot werst at gmail before I could put it in.

Alanwong - is it cool for us to use it?

The guys are in regular old tank tops, and regular shorts.

Can't remember for sure, but I think that was actually the first one...
