Wallpaper selection menu  Old stuff, but it's still here for you if you want it. Pick from an assortment of mountain bike photos to use as your Windows background wallpaper! Yeah, most of these photos are left over from the old days, when 640x480 was a nice big display with awesome resolution. Before digital photography was even a thing. But still, here they are.
