Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer?

A break from what? I actively post on the P&R forums (and on other sites), but not so much here after Shiznaz passed away... Lately I've been too busy getting my business off the ground to gett caught up in all the drama that occurs here.


Just making an objective, dry observation. That's all.


Good to "see" you barba.

I like to give you BFSSFG old timers the benefit of the doubt, but these threads annoy the **** out of me. It seems like there is a new one at least once a week. Aren't repetitive threads one of your guys' pet peeves?

I like to give you noobs the benifit of the doubt, but you haven't been here long enough to form an informed opinion about much.



I will consider your advice on say, top tube colours and patterns and/or sewing tips. Maybe.

Even the noobs aren't impressed with your worn out humor. You sound like a 15 year old girl *****ing about how her favorite band from last month sold out cause they hit it big.

It sucks so many of you guys are losing faith because lots of you are the ones with the most knowledge to offer the forum. I've been here for the last 6 or so months that you keep claiming have been so sucky and I've learned a **** ton.

I dunno...I feel like it was worse a month or two ago, and it's gotten a little better. Maybe 1 in 30 responses aren't total junk, as opposed to 1 in 50.

Maybe this forum WAS dead, but now it's the zombie-forum apocalypse?
