Don't you just hate this?

Bike Radar advertised in a bunch of cycling magazines and in ProCycling's Tour de France special mag, trying to drive traffic there. they made claims that they were the first place for cycling news, had the biggest routes library and the "liveliest" cycling forums (and that they'd have the best TDF coverage). Vists the site and what do you see?

Coming soon...

LOL. I was actually hoping they'd have great pro interviews, videos, etc.

They're just building up hype.

^^ No. You build up hype by putting it in advertisements, etc. You KILL hype by leaving a "Coming Soon..." website up.
