Weight Weenie forum

This might be something fun. Discussion of ultra-light bike parts, how to make your bike lighter (whether on a budget or cost-no-object), super-light bikes (whether right at the UCI min. or even half of that weight(!), your bike submission (and,of course, weight), benefits of lightness vs. cost/performance advantage or whatever. This seems to be enough information here to warrant it's own forum.

Political ad content - no!!!

Why was my login session just now preceded by an ad for me to vote that Adam Schiff should be removed from office????

THIS FORUM SHOULD HAVE NO POLITICAL CONTENT. IT SHOULD ACCEPT NO ADS WITH POLITICAL CONTENT.

Lately the ad content on BF has been increasing. I understand that BF is a money-making endeavor. However BF as content-presenter to its paying members should exercise control over what ads can and cannot be displayed. BF would not display lewd ads or ads with content known to be incorrect (as in truth-in-advertising requirements). BF should not display political ads either.

+10 @jimmuller. Earlier this year I posted:

@xxx...Frankly IMO, it’s “hate-filled rhetoric” disguised as irony.

If I think of a weight weenie it has to be a foot long and my favorite drive in uses actual pickles, not relish. A once a month treat.
