Velospace.org

So some of you are probably already aware of this site, but i just wanted to put it out there. Velospace is like the myspace of bikes. I probably spend at least half of my work day oggling at bikes on there. There are also clusters on there that are like groups of bikes that all fit a pre-defined field. I made one called iron city bikes. feel free to private message me on there to be added to the cluster. it would be a great way to showcase some of the bikes ive been reading about on here.

Nice site, but, whoa - the level of discourse is definitely a notch or two below what I've seen on bikepgh. Maybe 10. Not to mention the level of typing. Bikepgh'ers should be proud of what they have going on here.

I have been meaning to create an account there. It's where I got some of the inspiration for my bike build which is still a work in progress as I ride it and buy better stuff for it.

the site is kinda divided into two parts:

1. the pictures and profiles

2. the forums


The pics ands and profiles tend to have more hipster bashing and poor typing skills, while the forums offer real discourse. I like just mindlessly staring at everyones set ups, getting ideas and inspirations, and geeking out.

and there is no comparison between the level of community that velospace has next to bike pgh's
