It's better than trying to navigate this site on a tiny mobile device screen, but that's not saying much. It took a while to figure out how to get to the SSFG forum, and you can't bookmark it so you automagically go there, as far as I can tell. Otherwise, it's okayish.
Thanks to the fact that the main page gives you the most recently updated threads, forum-wide, I did find out that somewhere there is a thread that is nothing but *****ing about hipsters. At which I just roll my eyes because come on, really?

Also... It automatically names your reply. I don't think you can turn it off, either.
Also it doesn't scale pictures...

Considering all the time I've been on and all that I've gotten through BF, info, irl friends, etc. I still would've bought it if it was $100.
Pretty much, if you notice there's a film of slime on people's phones it's definitely not the newest technology of scratch protection....

Now I'm sitting in a chair getting a small pin-up girl on my arm for free. This artist is heavy-handed. Later, gonna do some stuff for Chicago Craft Beer Week, and maybe go see The Avengers. It's a good day.

I'm not sure what it looks like on phones but there are similar pages if you click on "Spy" right under the BF logo or there is Quick Links > Today's Posts on the menu bar just below the Spy menu bar.
Gnar! My screen's always slimed, but from hamburgers and fried chix. I'm more of a food foner than a poo phoner.

31 mines and 1400 feet of climbing off the front of a pack of geared highschoolers on my SS today.

Yesterday, I hosted my son's angry-birds themed eighth birthday party. We had a four-foot tall slingshot and afterwords an all-out no-hold-barred half-hour game of calvinball with 6 autism spectrum disorder and/or adhd kids trying to tag the green pig (me) with angry birds that varied from rubber playground balls with birds faces painted on to water balloons. Good time.

Today I:
Received the spokes for my 930 build. Laced up the rear, spokes too long 
. Laced up the front, spokes too long by the same amount . Re-measured everything to find that my assumed ERD of 605mm (measured on previous generations of Open Pro rims) was wrong. These new Open Pros, with the black label, measure 601mm ERD using the brake cable method. Plugging 601mm into the spoke calculator gives me reasonable shorter spoke lengths. Looking at them, they look the same as the old ones, except for the labels.
Anyone else here build using these new Open Pros yet? Am I crazy?
Anyway, new spokes now on order, it's only time and money.

What's everyones opinion on buying bikes on eBay? generally safe? I'm looking at a Gios and a De Rosa, both very hot. Concerned about any cracks/damages though.
