Who are the forum legends?

Those creators of epic posts that don't die....

This can be their hall of fame (or shame :D )....

    Giro Jezmo, a legend in his own lunchtime.

    Kept us entertained with three or four threads of rampant paranoia.

    I nominate Freehub for his delightful 'How do these people afford their bikes' (or something similar) which is no longer viewable. It kicked off a delightful sh!tstorm at the time and was better viewing than th election.

    There was also a great one a month or so ago from someone (does anyone remember his username) who wanted advice on a buying a moped.

    Perhaps there could be a Cake Shop Oscars! :wink:


    I had one of them red bikes but I don't any more. Sad face.

    Lets not forget FrenchFighter for his infuriating blend of inconsistent love/hate of doping pro-cyclists...

    I think when the nominations are in some kind of poll might be in order. All in good humour of course. We love all the characters for the joy they bring to the forum! :D

    NapD for being the Godfather! And for being responsible for the shocking shortage of CAAD 9's in the country! :lol:

    There can only be one legend - Halford's Whizz Kid!!! :D
    Carlsberg don't make cycle clothing, but if they did it would probably still not be as good as Assos

    Lest not forget the " what does everyone think of me?" thread from Fr'ub?

    First past the post though has gotta be Bhima.

    I miss the Bhima posts too, loved the one about replacing spokes a few at a time with White ones!

    I have to say though that his 'Fab Can' time trial tribute video he edited and made was actually really superb! Very well put together, nice effects and good use of expressive music... I have watched it a number of times on YouTube.

    +1 NapD for being generally awesome.

    +1 Hafords Whizz Kid for being far too open, I remember the story of his misses pregnancy and ensuing debates and emotional struggles. It was really touching :)
