Title: My BSA B31
Post by: Janacek on 11 Jul, 2025, 14:38
New member here.Just bought a 1957 B31 which I would like to show you all as a previous owner has obviously done a lot of work to make it look almost like new,sadly the site says the file is too large so despite pressing every icon in sight I can't reduce the size.
Perhaps I'm hitting the phone with a metric hammer when it should be imperial. ;D

To reduce photo file size on your phone, you can adjust camera settings to capture photos at a lower resolution, use photo editing apps to compress or resize images, or utilize online compression tools. Consider cropping out unnecessary parts and exploring options in your phone's built-in photo editing tools.
1. Adjusting Camera Settings:
Lower Resolution: Look for "Camera photo resolution" or similar settings within your camera app and select a lower resolution for future photos. This will automatically reduce file sizes as you take new pictures, according to HONOR.
2. Using Photo Editing Apps:
Resizing:
Apps like "Photo & Picture Resizer" or those found in the Google Play Store offer options to resize images by reducing their dimensions (in pixels).
Compression:
Apps like "Photo Compressor and Resize" or "Photo and Picture Resizer" allow you to adjust the quality or set a specific file size target, resulting in smaller compressed photos, according to YouTube.
3. Online Compression Tools:
Online compressors: Websites like Fotor provide services to compress images online, allowing you to upload and download compressed versions.

Hi Janacek,

Do you have a computer?
If so Mac or PC?

Dave.

Had to crop the photo to fit.
Will try to do the same with the other half of the photo.

I see you have the Ariel hubs, I had a Golden Flash with those, I liked them, easy to adjust.  I had a B31 for many years and liked it, very easy to live with and very good handling.

A 1956/57 B31 was what I was looking for as they had the Ariel hubs. When I was a young lad, I had a 1956 B31 and when this one came up I had to have it.It's almost the same maroon colour as the one I had.I must have got weaker over the years, as I don't remember the B31 being this heavy.

I sometimes think that the gravitational "constant" is increasing as all my bikes have got heavier recently. I'll have to write to the New Scientist about it.
