Anybody Been On LFGSS Forum?

LFGSS use variety of acronyms that might have applied to the OP of this thread. He clearly failed to UTFS and discover that there is a thread devoted to current projects. Instead he posted his bike up and asked for opinions and received some very blunt ones.

WRONG.

I was unable to start a thread in current projects, as you should have seen.

And I sure firing abuse at somebody for their choice of bike is not really a great way to attract level headed forum members is it?

I guess I just don't "get it", so I'll hang around, observing on LFGSS & see if I do "get it" eventually.

Agreed.

It's a terrible place.

I would never post on there myself.

Such uncouth louts.

Oh, the humanity.

Why do you feel the need that you must "get it". You clearly don't "get it" so just accept that and move on. It is only one forum amongst thousands.

Maybe the more sedate/safe humour of BikeRadar is more for you (and nothing wrong with that)

Is there any need, really?

If you go around posting up pictures of your new bike build on the internet what do you expect? It's very unlikely that everyone is going to drop to their knees and offer to fellate you because your bike redefines the aesthetic of the bicycle.

It's much more likely that people, especially those who've become desensitised to generic fixed bikes built using common off the peg components, will offer up a critique of the bike.

You can either grow a pair or you can go running to your mum so she can make it better. The choice is yours.

I do actually have some idea (possibly more than most) how to tell between good carbon & bad carbon parts.

I'm surprised, and a little disappointed, that you BR regulars are biting at the comments of a group of people who simply see bicycles as just another fashion accessory for their glittering Metropolitan lives, rather than a recreational/sporting/exercise machine? :roll:

Enough. Take this forum vs forum and name-calling unpleasantness elsewhere.
