WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO GET INTO THE HOBBY

[Handle Bar Hoarder]

Handle Bar has a valid reason to start this theme anew.
That other thread’s last post was in 2013.

An almost 10 year gap from that older thread and this one should exempt Handle Bar from being picked on.

Handle Bar has enthusiasm, let him ride with it.

We need to have an auto post feature, so when another redundant thread gets started, it automatically posts everybody’s posts on the subject from way back.
We could call it the way back machine.
Help Mister Wizard!

... if this topic shows up in a couple years I'll post on that one too.

I’ll just keep reposting my original reply.
The date stamps will stack up, just like the registration stickers on my license plate.

What Has Been Inspiring Me to Get Out of The Bike Hobby

Too many Snake Oil sellers like this everywhere you turn. It's gone from pretty crazy to disgustingly absurd in the last two years. I sent the seller of the seat a $20 offer. We'll see what happens. If he accepts that still puts it over the top with that shipping price, but I do need a good pan and crash rail. That spring might clean up. Hopefully.

Edit:
Alrighty then. The seat seller just set his low on that trashed out seat. So this must be the norm today for a trashed out seat? And still a big rip in the shipping fee! LMAO

Had a Schwinn middleweight as my paper route bike (the Green Bay Press-Gazette) in the early to mid '70s, and liked how it rode, and how tough it was. Snow six inches deep? Fifteen below zero? That bike took it all in stride. Even when the 10 speed craze came in '74 or so, and I took a buddies new Varsity for a spin, I still preferred my middleweight. Eventually gave the bike to my kid brother. After poking around estate sales, rummage sales and junk shops in the late '80s and '90s and not finding much, I quit looking. Only after the interweb came to be, did I decide to try to find something vintage again. And here I am.

That is the purpose of the "Is this already being discussed?" list that pops up when you type in your new thread title.

 

[cyclingday]

Exactly!
Unfortunately, nobody ever looks at the already been chewed list before they hit the send button.
We need an audio message that says,
HELLO, McFLY!
THAT SUBJECT HAS ALREADY BEEN POSTED FIVE TIMES!

A better search feature would make a big difference, seems like unless you type the exact title letter for letter it hard to find sometime, I have trouble finding my own old threads sometimes if I don't remember the exact wording!, I guess this could go in Pet Peeves!
