Light-Bikes will update your picture as soon as possible. Once we have done so then your image will automatically show for your bike. Once your image has been updated then your bike will be displayed in the New Bikes section of the home page.

What if I want to add a bike but do not want it to show up?

Light-Bikes bike editor features the ability to not show you bike on the web. Review the bike management section and the legend for more information. A bike marked with a red box will not show up on the web. Why is this important? If you are planning on building a bike you can use the bike editor as a toll to build it with and analyze the parts and weights to get the perfect match without posting the bike on the web.

So while you build your bike you can use this section to update the weights. When your finished you can then change the Re Box to a Green Box (Post on Web). This will now show your bike on the web.

If my bike is marked as do not post can the picture still be updated?

Yes, even though you do not want the bike posted on the web Light-bikes can still attach your bike picture to your bike.
