What's going on at Weight Weenies?

[echelon_john]

It was fine until they opened the non-cycling Classifieds section.

Working fine for me now, but nobody has posted in the Procycling thread about MSR, kind of funny.

Is there a classifieds section?

The following is cut and pasted from WW

Now, see, that's really not a fair criticism.

I was very upfront about it: all of the hub caps I bought from oldpotatoe here and then listed there had in fact been drilled out and I had also replaced the crappy pot-metal SRAM center emblems with Campagnolo carbon-fiber ones. I even posted the images showing the 5.4321 grams savings...that's per hub cap, mind you!

Yes, just as tuscanyswe says.

Really cleanly organized too. Absolutely 0 chatter (i.e. "Nice bike! Too bad! 13 sizes too small! GLWS!"), because posted replies are not allowed; all transactions must be conducted via PM. Very, very clean.

I think whomever is maintaining their site doesn't know what they're doing. This is not the first time either.

They realized that on a race bicycle aero trumps weight. Then they rode comfortable, well-fitted bikes a la the Colnago C series. Finally, they decided that broken cranks and brakes that don't stop are not worth $1500 in order to save the equivalent of 12oz of water. Basically, the site assploded due to reality and practicality.

I think slowtwitch may be to blame as well.

I'm beginning to think that because I don't log out I can still get in. The above quoted snippet was me over there.

[Spdntrxi]

[KarlC]

Very weird. I just posted "test" to the 2018 pro thread and it worked. Hmmm.

[Calnago]

This is a long time for it to be broken.

[Calnago]

Still... nothing. Anyone got any word as to what’s going on over there?
