Foo - Cycling forums...anyone remember this one?

Hey everyone. I've been out of the game for a while now, but back when I was riding a lot (about 4 years ago) there was a cycling forum that I frequented. I can't for the life of me remember the name of it though.

So far I've found:
-cyclingforums.com
-bikeforums.net
-cyclingforum.org
-cyclingforum.com
-roadbikereview.com

None of these seem like the one that I have in mind though. I realize that online forums change their user interface so it might look different, but at the time this forum I remember had red/maroon accents and I think used some grey in the threads. Around the time I quit reading it, there was a lot of support for Anvil custom bikes as well.

If anyone recognizes this forum, or has any others that are worth taking a look at, I'd really appreciate some help. If for no other reason, just so I can quit wracking my brain over what this forum was called.

Thanks!

I think I know which ones you mean. They were the first forum I found 2 years ago too. They were linked from a bike shop website, and for a while I thought they were forums of that bike shop (e.g. local). Later I found that many, many bike shops had the same web page template and it linked to that same forum which was no affiliiated with the shop.

Anyway...just tried searching and I can't find it anymore either, though I do remember coming across it again just a few months ago.

I can't help you find that forum, but I will tell you that this forum is the largest bike forum on the internet. So if you need answers, this is your best source.

Stick and around and enjoy. :)

you don't mean oldroads.com do you?

Nope, that's definitely not the one I'm thinking of. At the time, it was a pretty up-to-date forum software, much like this one. Didn't have that "early '90's" website look to it.

Stick and around and enjoy. :)

Oh, I intend to :D

Just trying to remember where my old stomping grounds were. Got to thinking about it and now its just driving me nuts that I can't remember the name of it.

You mean there's other cycling forums? That's like finding out there's parallel universes. Bizarro Bike Forums! I wonder if in Bizarro BF, Stacey's a post-op transgender female to male and King Termite is King Millipede?

Cycling forums or whateverf used to be big but suffered a big outage some time ago. A lot of regulars migrated over to the land of bikeforums and stayed bringing with them their erudite mixture of wit and wisdom and wentertainment..

Yeah, I realize 4 years is a long time in web world. Even if it isn't around anymore though, I'd still like to try to figure out what the name was. It's driving me nuts! :eek:

BikeSpeak? They're linked to a lot of different bike store, but the same content.

I like to use http://www.roadbikerider.com

That's it!! At least that's the one that *I* was talking about that I found originally. They were linked from every other bike shop website I found it seemed.

http://www.bicycling.com, their forums more than likely

they changed formats recently, but theyve always had a serious troll and puppet infestation problem

Thanks guys. Still haven't seen anything that looks right. I know it wasn't the Bicycling magazine forum, and I know it wasn't directly associated with a store. It may have been road bike specific.

Was it gearhead.com or ridemonkey.com? Gearhead has the grey/maroon thing going....

Nope, and nope. :o

Sorry guys (and gals), I'm sure at this point some of you think I'm nuts. I just can't remember the web address for this forum.

It was a pretty sophisticated forum at the time. Had various rooms for different topics (like most forums now do) and a very active buy and sell forum. I think I have it written down in storage somewhere, but I won't be able to check until mid-august.

sometimes old content is archived on someone's website. Can you google your old forum name and see if it turns up anywhere?

Tried that last night with a couple different names, but honestly I don't remember what my forum name was for certain. It may just be easier for me to check my files in august. I'm afraid I just can't give enough information for someone to really help out on this one. My fault.

Thanks for the help though!
