Does anyone know of a good forum for mountain biking. I am trying to do
some research on a good mountain bike for a decent price. I am probably
looking in the 500 to 1500 dollar range so I know I wont be buying the best
bike in the world but I would like to get something decent. Thanks -Mike

Um - how about alt.mountain-bike?

a smart ass?

Perhaps you would like to look up the definition of a forum. Did you
really mean a web forum? If so, why not say so. This newsgroup is a
forum, and is for discussing mountain biking. You seemed to want to
discuss mountain biking, but are you saying that this group isn't good
enough for you?

Also, what has an ass got to do with things? Are you into donkeys or
something?

You don't like here? What's the problem with the newgroup?

Of course I am into donkeys...why do you think I want to learn about
mountain bikes? Expect me to walk to them?

I apologize for my comment. I was in the wrong and yes I was looking for
web forums. I woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. Sorry

I didn't think there was a lot of traffic here is why I was searching for a
web forum.

OK.... you never really asked this group for their opinion so here is a
suggestion. You say you want to "research". If you google this group you
will find that this topic has been discussed in the past. If you don't find
what you need then ask the question of the group. You will find that there
are some real smart-asses here just like in the real world (oddly enough)
but you will also find that there are some real bike-savvy people here as
well. You never know, they might surprise you.

So, someone wanted to show that they are a lemming. That place gets
worse and worse all of the time. It's like watching an uber-slow-
motion trainwreck.

Two others mentioned by another are just as bad, bikeforums and
ridemonkey. Total e-tard city, yet oddly entertaining.

But JD ,

what Forum haven't you been thrown off of yet ?

Threaten violence?

You mean like, string piano wire across a trail to causej injury to passing
bike riders (you support such things), poke sticks into the air in such a
manner to impale passing bike riders (you support such things)? Not only do
you support such things, I've seen you advocate them and defend them.

Once again, you are the pot calling the kettle black ...

You are a know crazy and a liar. Notice that you NEVER provide any
evidence of your fantasies. Because you CAN'T!

That's a non-denial denial. Not half bad, either.

Just let it go Jeff. I read Mike's stuff...no facts, just opinions.
Still no facts. I rest my case!

That proves that you haven't read it. Idiot.
