EDIT* aaaahh Fu(k it..

Ibl!

i dont feel like there are too many nub threads~ and i read thru a lot of them plus adding advice~

that hurt my brain to read. It was like reading one long, meandering thought...

Hehe, yeah sorry. I tend to monologue a lot on here. What seems like a simple idea in my head comes out all at the same time and ^ is the result.

Commandment 1:

Don't start threads about how there are too many threads. Believe it or not, this has in fact been the subject of many threads; feel free to find and post in one of those.

Sorry to hate, but it's true.

No worries, I didn't take this as hating . But why are there still posts with nubs like me asking "what should I do, where do I start" kinda threads? Well I can see that on the other hand that IS what forums are for>to help people out. I guess what I'm trynna say is that I don't want it to become the main purpose of this forum to help us out on our "first fixed gear (yay!)" all the time because at some point, and this has happened, some of the senior members DO get fed up and proceed with the insults rather than help them out with their predicament. I don't know, maybe I'm just trying TOO hard to help out. Should I just let it be then?

Commandment 2: Thou shalt not complain about n00bs on this forum before one month of forum membership has come to pass, n00b.

i kinda agree~

Reading the stickies or using the search function kinda undoes the reason for coming to this forum.

I like talking about this stuff, and I like talking about it over and over again because each time I participate in a thread that interests me, even for the thousandth time, I learn something.

The days of "precious" bandwidth went away about ten years ago.

Let me try to explain myself in a way that is non-argumentative. I did not mean to sound like I was complaining about the abundance of noobs, if I was then I apologize, not only would that have been hypocritical of me, but also ********-ed. I was only trying to help everyone out by redirecting the noob posts of "what should I dos" to the sticky. I also, well this isn't as evident, but I also was trying to stop the insults of some senior members to noob posts (thus "nub advocacy FTW") because it is not productive and it may not be said from time to time but it hurts some people who cannot handle them and thus discourages them from visiting the forums again. Ironically, I failed in this and was insulted (well it kinda hurt man) in the process, so I guess the best thing to do is just let this phenomenon be and stop bein a whiny byatch.

I see where you are coming from Ken and there really is no argument to that so thanks for opening my crusty eyes to this...So I guess that just renders my whole "senior members don't like those kinda posts" post false. Oh well, you can't blame a guy for tryin'..well actually you can but..
Oh and on a somewhat related note, I was actually willing to argue the whole bandwidth bit if it ever came up but now that it's here, I don't really have a rebuttal!

Commandment 2 (revised edition): Thou shalt not make any attempts to shape this forum before one month of forum membership has come to pass, n00b.

Commandment 3: Why so serious?

because he's a fatso from another forum.

Hehe, I'll take that. Oh I don't know dude, I guess when a guys set of beliefs is on the line he'll send a whole army to Iraq and back just to defend them. Sorry if it stepped over the melodramatic line..I'll just stop with my mini-soap opera posts and get productive.

Show me your bike, n00b.

or you can take it a step further and pretend you're in rome.

and ouch spook, that hurt my clogged heart .

REF: Search function - be sure to change the drop box at the bottom of the search page to "Relevancy" for sucessful searching. (BTW I only lurk here 'cuz you folks are entertaining!)

Oh, about that hehe...well it's still kind of a road bike (sorry!) And plus I'm still debating on whether I should convert that (which I kinda don't want to do, being a noob and all) or buy a track bike (which I have no money for) so you have any suggestions on what I should do?..just kidding. but seriously I'm still debating and don't actually ride FG yet. Yes you can clown on my dumbass for that.

^ There's no problem with that. I like all types of bikes.

so you weren't expecting a Pickst Gheer? Well, in that case, I don't have a picture (haven't done it yet), but it's an early bianchi, I did some searching on the net a while back and it is said that it was made by a company called Piaggio, a scooter manufacturing..manufactur..er (according to the Bforums at least).

i'm flagging you as "troll"

I'm not sure I get that..

a newbie suggestion, i am building my 1st fg and it's kinda hard for me to know which part to get...so maybe we can collaborate a database like

Hub+Cog+Crank(inside/outside)+BB

my .02

Because it's Spring time so people are buying bikes to ride in the nicer weather. Posts like this happen all the time but I'd expect them to increase exponentially during this time of year. This thread won't stop them from happening though...I mean, if people didn't bother to read the sticky, why would they ever bother to read this thread?
