Bike Forums-CLOSED

Heh, just be patient, it'll be back up. Probably a server upgrade or databse maintenance that's simply taking longer than usual.

Sort of sounds pretty serious to me.

Your addicted to Bike Forums! 😄

The site went down last night. Patience is the key.

much busier than this one, which I used to think was a good thing, but now I'm not too sure 🙂

Bike Forums has been acting up since they swithced servers about a month ago. I have to keep logging on every couple of minutes, which is obviously a pain

there's also the Serotta forum: http://www.serotta.com/forum/index.php?

and:

http://weightweenies.starbike.com/phpBB2/
http://forums.roadbikereview.com/

Well it is back up and running now..as of 11:30AM EST

Cheers,

Brian

ahh bike forums...the good ole days. not really, All that happens there is a bunch of mid life crisis old farts with too much money and time on there hands argue whether they should upgrade this upgrade that, buy this or buy that, do you like my wheels? which frame is the lightest, aero over weight, my [censored] hurts, im fat 🙁, who actually rides there bike?...Whereas at cylingforums we have the cycling TRAINING forum, power TRAINING forum, of course a tech corner, a road racing forum etc etc which tends to breed more "active" participants of cycling.

Of course at BIKEFORUMS they all have very well trained bank cards.

you might have a point..................then we see their bikes, and they ride their $10,000 bikes with fully loaded saddle bags, and handle bars higher than the saddle.

To be fair, Bike Forums does have training, racing, etc, forums.

Seems the forum still has issues. I logged in ok.. clicked on Over 50 group (ducking) and got a blank page saying: http://www.bikeforums.net/forumdisplay.php?f=220
I then clicked REFRESH.. and it loaded ok.

Wow, I'm a member of Bike Forums too, does that mean I can sell my 16 year old, rigid fork mountain bike for half what you say it's worth? Cool!!! Just send me $5000 and I'll send you the bike.
