I have the same philosophy do doing drugs and drinking. It's really nurturing.

Did you get banned from bikeradar or something though. You seem like you don't really want to be here and that's where people are most likely to be selling second hand equipment that is far superior to their owners' abilities.
This place is mostly for cutting about on either piece of shit track bikes or exorbitant custom steel builds that exceed the GDP of island economies.

Might just keep Bumping this until the admin blocks me
The admin being my brain. Bumping being well, bumps. You've lived a sheltered life son. Maybe stop spending all your time and money on bikes and antagonising unpaid forum mods.

No, I have a bikeradar account, but can't remember password and email (probs will just make a new one) Also it seems there is hardly any new stuff on there.
Basically mate of mine showed me this when i told him i wanted a new frame.
Some guy was selling vision metron carbon wheels at a massive discount. Also found a scott addict for a good price, so put an ad (Putting ad's in loads of places to see what is out there).I understand this place is mainly for ridiculously expensive and impractical fixie's but people still place stuff for road bike equipment on here.
TBH you guys weren't the worst, that Bob guy was a particularly sad individual. -

ah. Just here for the mad bargs eh? No time for the lols? Sideshowbob's a pretty good egg tbh, quite helpful and far less prone to being an arsehole than me.
Anyway. Someone was selling a very nice Time frameset a while ago. if you UTFS you might have more joy than waiting for the ideal thing to fall in your lap...

Fucking hell, for a site thats meant to be a community you really are a bit rude mate.
Easy to say things like that behind a keyboard, you know nothing about pretty much anyone's life on this website.
What I spend my money on is my business, not anyone elses. (Plus £1000 is not a lot to spend on a bike, if your such a messiah on all things chain driven you should know that).I'm antagonising anyone, except people who antagonise me and comment on my post with about unrelated things. This could have all been avoided if you just didn't comment if you don't have something to sell me. But it seems like you were too proud and when I started calling you out i get comments like you've lived a sheltered life.
Plus this site shows people spending more on single speed bikes then they do cars, so it's far to say the majority of people have lived quite a nice life on here, I certainly can't complain, I've worked hard and lived a fortunate life. But I understand this and don't call other people out on.
I don't intend to comment further on this, I hope you can do the same and we will both just walk and you can leave me to get on looking for a bike and I can leave you to ride your lovely fixie around London.

Jesus, and I though I'm neurotic. The sheltered life comment was in relation to your apparent incomprehension of the term 'bumps' in relation to substance abuse. A josh. A jape. A lighthearted bit of tongue in cheek ribaldry that wasn't meant to be taken as a soul-deep summation of your entire existence.
I thought you're only hanging around to piss people off now anyway, most sensitive and benevolent of souls that you are?

• #35
You are neurotic. I don't think i've ever heard the term bumps as slang for drug use??? I'm not a drug user myself, are you per chance?
However you meant it, it came across as a personal statement about myself. Doesn't matter how it sounds in your head, you have to see how it comes across to other people.
TBH Bob is like an angel compared to you at the moment. He was humble bragging a bit, but never made assumptions about people.I was just hanging around to piss people off, but it seems you have taken the bait and can't let go.
I'm here to find a bike (or frame). This is one many i am looking at. I'm perplexed as to how this has ground your gears so much, so not so much waiting for a bike to fall into my lap, just looking over the whole market to find the right bike for me.

Oh darling. Let me press your gentle head to my hairy bossom and permit you to comfort yourself on my engorged soothing teats as your mother surely would.
Everything will be alright, you'll see.

Now we have just lost all purpose of the thread.
Ok mate, sounds a bit weird but it seems like you have run dry of things to say surrounding my use of the site, you sound quite old as well.
Do have anything more to add, or is it going to just be weird words ?
Sounds like my point has been proven, seems like logic came through. -

I find this forum great to sell and buy.
With friendly prices people will deffinetley sell and buy quickly. Banter is a plus side opposite to eBay where you actually don't know sellers. Here big chunk of people are friends and meet each other already.
Before criticising maybe get involved a bit in forum and many different topics discussed here not just classified.

Verily hath thou a purpose of most weighty intent in the buying of thine most weightless of velocipedes for the unspecified sum of shekels? Or, like the butterfly doth thou passeth hither, erratic and inconstant in thine purpose, wilt though sustain thine ungainly and fractuous standing in this place for the merest purpose that any grain of sand can fulminate within a basin of petroleum derived lubrication? For untold beings passeth unto these hallowed numerical grounds and do meet this most ungainly of ends, being as unto an ardvark as is a legume, unsavoury and of little delicacy. Finding themselves in this most unfamiliar of predicaments, the howling winds of the forum doth utter "offeth thou doest fornicate with thine most meagre of masculine members good sir" concerned so little with thine plight.

@Dawid_Owl Could not agree more. I don't ride fixed gear, but I totally appreciate the art and beauty of bespoke fixed gear bikes, sometimes i do just look at the bike porn section.
But at the same time, you can't expect people to understand all the in jokes and be totally on board, some people aren't as hardcore as others, and that is completely fine.But i have come on here and just put an ad out to see what was out there, but i'm not going to sit by whilst individuals just waste my time and then get upset when I call them out on their bullshit.
Im sure 99% of people on here are wonderful people, would love meet so many and talk bikes. But you can't expect to grow and get more people involved if you just argue for the sake of it.
What if you turned up at someones house, going to buy a car for example, and just started going in on the guy (or girl) personally. They would tell you to fuck off. Not saying that is exactly what happened here, but i hope you can see why Im a bit pissed off when I get notifications about my ad and instead for genuine sellers, it's fairly sad people who have nothing better to do than just annoy for the sake of it. -

this site is great but I see a lot of dick measuring contests on here
This is why I’m on this site. Don’t chalk it down as a negative.
Anybody who’s spent any time reading this forum knows it’s a good place to buy and sell if you use your brain.

@%~} thats fine if thats what you want to do. But you can't abuse others who are here just to try and find something to buy.
If you want to compare bikes thats fine, but don't just comment unrelated things on wanted ads, its un called for.
Not saying it wasn't a good place to buy and sell, just that some of the users were putting me off using the site

Full disclosure, that may have been their goal. This is a tight-knit, slightly xenophobic community, they don't take kindly to strangers coming here only for the bargains. Especially not if those strangers can't even take a light-hearted quip about aerial combat.

I gave you some friendly advice 5 hrs ago with nothing but the best intentions.
You are still wittering on about it which is beyond my comprehension. -

I don't know about that, he's joined in by publicly strafing his own undercarriage

Mate - it's a sunny* bank holiday and you're getting riled up by strangers on the internet. I'd get out and enjoy yourself if I were you.
People on here will keep going as long as you keep rising to it.
Anyway, I've done a quick search of available aero frame sets on other forums. Some interesting bargains here . Good luck.
*where I am.
