There's not even a good amount of tech/component talk either. It's a weird place.

Also I'd like to note that I wear spandex and like carbon stuff. Just not like those guys.

hmm... stumped. that basically rounds out my "list."

which means it could be me.

nicely put.

At work and at home I have the 33 and the 178 open in my browser all the time. I venture into the 41 occasionally, but mainly to amuse myself.

Racing aside, the 33 is basically a place where people are like-minded, generally experienced and sensible and like talking about riding and training more than obsessing/arguing over the minutia of equipment and component selection.
We also have much non-cycling conversation as well. We have:

twitter feed (now renamed)
eating status
weight loss status
music status
alcohol status
caffeine status
geek status

ect.

The people that I hang out with off the bike are generally more like 178 users. SS/FG is how I started riding (and continue to ride) so I relate more here than to people in the 41. I started riding road and racing road about the same time in college.

it occasionally has really good threads, some troll threads, but it is mostly boring crap with people being armchair engineers and others asking how to be a serious cyclist. I spent most of my time reading there when I joined BF :-/ C&V is pretty good

same

ironically you wont find any threads about "serious cycling" in the 33...

Why? Cause it doesn't matter and no one cares.

my short time in the 33 was nice

some of the regular posters there don't even ride anymore/atm, let alone race

also people outside of the 33 (esp 41) seem to take racing more seriously, which is weird.
most of us realize after 3-4 years in the game that we will never make a living doing this; it's about fun, healthy competition.

Today I ordered my set of Cards Against Humanity. They're finally back in stock on Amazon!

Nice!

Today I put my copy of Diablo 3 Collector's Edition on craigs. Let's see what kind of profit I can turn...

Today I saw this on Flickr and coveted:

Custom Vicious Cycles 650B Singlespeed by Revolvero, on Flickr

Thanks for the heads up! Just ordered a set for myself.

hmmm, that sounds like an interesting game...

Today I found out about the Timbuk2 Especial Tres. Looks awesome!!

Sold Diablo 3 CE in 3 hours of posting for $180. (Paid $100)

I wish I bought more copies.

never thought of investing in CE of video games, lol

Yeah the 41 seems like it's full of dudes who like to tell everybody else they're doin' it wrong.

Good thing none of us do that!

Damn sweet... am getting close to building up my '88 Kona Explosif as an SS and am a little stoked about that.

I should haul my ass down to that shop, so maybe I could see it IRL.

Today I also contacted a fellow who is selling his Pugsley...

Huge market if it's the right game.

Somebody I know had 7 copies. He sold his day of release, said some of them fetched upwards of $250 a copy.
