PROTIP: Red eyes can be very easily edited out of pictures by using Windows Live Photo Gallery.

I know red eyes can be edited out of pics, although I've never tried it myself. Seen the options before though

I just don't see the point. I have shitloadas of pics of my cat looking cute as fuck without red eyes already. and these kinda photos aren't taken to look like really awesome photos - they're taken to show what she's doing, record her growning up, get a shot of her playing etc. not to look artistic or photographic or whatever.

Jess doesn't look like a kitten any more. She certainly grew quickly!

Second hand on a bike is a good thing it's already broken in and you don't have to worry as much about scuffing up the paint

True. But think the chap I bought it from ever hardly used the bike. Tires as new, brakes OK, paint almost without any scratch, etc..
On the largest gear blade (term here?) you could see he used the bike a little bit but basically it's a good buy. And this for 3/7 of new price.

Well, I'm quite happy with it. (that's what count here)

Yes, on the largest front sprocket the teeth are a tiny bit.. blahiah..

Um, 27 gears in total this bike has. Um, imagine that..
3 in front 'round the crankshaft and 9 sprockets on it's back wheel axis.

Well, takes some practice to work them smoothly..

I have been after one of these for years for my cold war collection  but they are usually in poor shape
