Is there a European equivalent of Paceline?

Nothing will ever come close to PL. Its a place i cherish, respect which made my cycling related knowledge grow significantly. It is also a place like no other when it comes to buy/sell since members share the same interest for curated parts, frames etc.
I was wondering if there is any equivalent virtual place in Europe where people discuss different topics and share a marketplace.
Thanks!

Not strictly European, but likely more so

They can be a bit more obstreperous, but I like the London Fixed Gear site:

There seems to be a website problem at weight weenies. I can't log in, or get a password reset email from the website. I even tried registering with a different email address and user name and it didn't work.

Odd, I'm logged in now. But maybe their password reset isn't working?

It has 'attitude'. A Londoner 'know it all' outlook.

All in big (XLish) framesets:
Mosaic RT-2 Road
Davidson Ti Road
True North Cycles S&S Gravel

Size Small, less niche bikes:
2016 Devinci Hatchet SX (Rival 1)
2017 Canyon Grand Canyon AL SLX 9.9

Some wheels, bars, and other stuff I've accumulated also on the chopping block.

I was planning on bringing everything back to Canada and selling stuff there but if there's a convenient sale in Germany I'd consider it.

Good idea. They are discerning customers, they like american bikes and have the cash to pay for quality

I might be interested in the wheels and bars depending

Nothing comes close to the paceline but here's another site:
https://www.rennrad-news.de/news/
Kind of sister site to the biggest German mountain bike site
https://www.mtb-news.de/
which has a cool section for vintage mountain bikes:
https://www.mtb-news.de/forum/f/classic-bikes.46/

the weight weenies site by starbike features also nice bikes but is as the name already suggests pretty obsessed with shaving off grams...

Germans take technical obssessions to another level.
Their vintage mtb rebuilds are impeccable; they make everybody else look sloppy and careless.

Tell me about it. A lot of the bikes at the Mombat collection look sloppily assembled compared to some bikes I see on the German mtb forum.
But how cool is that? I also had 7 garage queens once in my basement.
Nothing really beats riding bikes, hoarding and building are funny substitute acts
IMHO. Ab dafür!
