A Festivus for the Rest of Us!
This is a tabula rasa. Simply a space where one can peacefully lounge and discuss anything that comes to mind. We used to have a thread like this--the famous MEILENSTEIN LIGHTWEIGHT WHEELS thread--but, regrettably, it was summarily closed down in chicken**** fashion by one of the mods for having run afoul of the precious sensibilities of certain ADDICTION thread vagrants. And, speaking of the ADDICTION thread, consider A FESTIVUS FOR THE REST OF US kind of like ADDICTION. Only without the pretention, the snobbery, and the presence of has-been and wannabe racer-types (y’all know who you are!). Ciao and see y’all in the next life! Enjoy!

I was very disappointed when the lightweight wheel thread was closed. It was a source of wholesome entertainment for a long time.
So I'm building this steel commuter bike, but the funding dried up...gonna be a 1 by something speed.

Making derogatory comments about mods and their work is always a great start to a long-lived thread.
