Bikemagic died, i cam here.
BM refugee - waves at NickC and Stoner 🙂 That was after buying issue 1 of the mag from Chipps at the Bike Show at the NEC. The same day the STW hire van was nicked with - if I remember rightly - most of the mags and Mark's pants!
Hubby was on the GoFar site. It wibbled into STW which I liked.
Couldn't post on his log in, so got my own. 2006 for me.
Found myself organising a SheCycles ladies ride at Swinley Forest and someone suggested posting on here in case any ladies or partners would like to join. Seems donkey's years ago now but it was a terrific day and couldn't have happened without so many kind-hearted helpers.
Refugee from that kids sand pit known as Bikemagic (tragic) in 2001.
God that makes me feel old.
I was trying to find out about a bike I had seen called 'Compo'.
i cam here.
And the circle is complete.
GoFar was just getting interesting as MTB Wales was going quiet. Much the same, but with more from over the border.
Fruit of superstarcomponents fame before it existed sent me a link. I t seemed like a better thing to do than revise for my exams.
Now it seems a like a better thing to do than work.
All the rest died.
My Bike , I stayed for the bollocks.
I joined to sell and buy stuff, then a friend mentioned a few things about the other forums so I lurked for a bit. I once read someone say it was bad form to just use the classifieds so I decided it was about time I should post replies.
Story's like louise, sudacream cat, bullheart and gnusmas have kept me here.
The thing that first got me hooked was Jamie's altered pictures, they were amazing. A real talent.
I worked in a LBS and a customer brought in a pre-release first issue copy of this new mag called Singletrackworld, been here ever since. Only recently lost that copy too 😔
I joined to talk about bikes, I just stay for the banned user new login paranoia.
2006 met the guys at the London bike show.
The challenge.
Curiosity about what the guy who kept asking me out actually did...
From bike magic in ~2003? Via the C1XV like a few others above. Alex's recent thread about his daughter learning to drive made me feel old as I remember her being knee high to a grasshopper etc. Etc.

One day you may get an answer.
Via Gofar,following the 2000 summer Polaris at Kildale,previously a Bike Magic person.
Drac and Hexten brought me here about a million years ago. I've never left.
A friend recommended the classified - I think it would have been about 2007 ish as it was my first year in a proper job!

...followed by crushing disappointment when you found out he didn't own a chip shop?
Another refugee of the GoFar days here. I first visited GoFar after someone mentioned it on the Topica (?) MTB-UK mailing list mentioned it.
Used to be on Bike Radar - too many forum sub sections made it hard to be involved. This place is the complete opposite. Also one of the mods there seemed to answer everyone's posts with a bit of a foul attitude. Was like you couldn't get away from him.

Same here. I was there with @Supersessions9-2. Still got that copy in the study.
