Would love to, but its raining where i am.
Also the carbon sleeve on the inside of my forks is faulty, i.e i cannot fully tighten headset, so bike is quite dangerous to ride atm, and local bike shop are completely uselessSo for me, its turbo only atm

My original post was completely fine, just people couldn't leave it alone with unrelated services.

Hmm, the word "tight-knit" is fine.
But Xenophobic is not, if they really are like that, then this website has some issuesDisclosure: the jet joke was funny the first time, i showed it to friends and laughed, but jokes wear thin, and when the same guy keeps replying with useless statements, it gets on your nerves, when all you wanted to do was to see if anyone was selling a decent aero ROAD frame.

Admins haven't taken it down yet. Plus i think so many people broke the "no un-related comments" rule.
There are so many forums where u can just chat bikes, no buying or selling, so why take great offence to a particular wanted ad?

Who doesn't want a bargain?
I think its totally justified if when buying something, you aim to get the best price for it -

I disagree the Jet joke was funnier the 4th time. I really didn’t see it coming.
This looks pretty unbeatable;

I think this website attracts the wrong type of cyclist
I'm glad you realised your error.

Ok then
I think that guy was right, there are some Xenophobic people on here.There is a classifieds section, people will post road bike stuff, MTB stuff, fixed gear stuff and lots of other stuff on there.
Instead of just having a go because someone isn't posted this whilst riding a fixie no hands through London this very instant!, why not just ignore posts that don't really apply or matter to you?

"Admins" are busy building bikes and enjoying the sun.
The "no unrelated comments" rule is to stop people selling stuff from continually bumping their own sale threads. It has nothing to do with preventing people posting jets or apple pies to other people's threads.

As i said its raining by me and bike is un rideable atm :(
just jokingI can see that if someone just bumped several times over in short succession, that would be bad.
I think that the no unrelated comments does apply to a lot of what i was getting earlier in the thread, but it wasn't really bad, just annoying and bad etiquette really.Going back to Bob's comments, I was annoyed that he felt the need to say "you already posted this" on something that was posted around 3 weeks ago. These forums move so fast that i don't think many people really noticed tbh. I came back to this site because i did get some good offers (other things got in the way like cost and travel) and facebook and ebay/gumtree had dried up for the time being, so just posted a more focused add this time (all I missed the bit about road frame, but im only human).

@ube-grube The Goat man beat you to it

Once again as I think you may have failed to read it -
I gave you some friendly advice 8 hrs ago with nothing but the best intentions.
-
• #74
Tone gets lost over the internet,
sure you did have the best of intentions, but it came across very condescending.Also the fact that you were just wasting my time a bit did annoy me somewhat

I've got an aero bike frame for sale.
"Aero" in the sense that it's brown and full of holes!
Haha got you!
Come on, he clearly stated a budget. .
