I found the RBR classifieds via Google search when I was looking to buy a used road bike in 2002. A few weeks and a few clicks later, I found the forums...

Only a few months ago. I bought a Colnago and wanted to see the pics in the Colnago forum, and you need a login for that...

Oddly enough I was on AudioReview often checking on audio equipment. When I got back into riding I went to MTBR and then here to RBR a couple of years later when I got a road bike.

I have no idea how I got sucked into the lounge.

Google-iscious....very recently too!

When? Don't remember....sometime in the last millenium. I remember Roadies rejoice on MTBR, but I don't think I made the jump until RBR was off on it's own.

How? Found MTBR....then started reading reviews and found the forums on RBR.

I find it funny, how there seems to be no overlap between the folks writing reviews on RBR and the folks posting in forums. Of course, I can't even remember the last time I've looked at a component review on RBR.

came here to read the road bike reviews. The number of forums were small, maybe 3 total then a year or so later the they had grown, the number of manufactuers forums went from 5 to like 20 or so. That was 4-5 years ago maybe longer. it's a blur........

Maturity...

I was looking for a more mature forum to help improve my cycling and develope better riding habits...I stayed any way and enjoy the "maturity". This forum is always a lot of fun and I'm always worried why other roadies don't always say hi and wave.

Through MTBR.com I'm a mt. biker at first now I do both.

It was a cold and rainy night when I first stumbled onto RBR. I had reservations about signing up and spilling my private opinions at a place like this, but before I could get away, I got a message that if I signed up now, someone would call me on the phone and talk dirty to me...........It never happened......I'm such a sucker.

First time back in 90's

seriously? IIRC, it was an offshoot of mtbr, prob in the early 2000s

 

[il sogno]

I had got my Colnago in 2000. In the year or so afterwards my husband and I were at our LBS and heard someone talking about RBR. We got online and checked it out.

I lurked here for a while until July of 2002 when I found some topic I just couldn't shut up about. I signed up and the rest as they say, is history.

 

[Mapei]

It was the year 2000. I was searching down reviews on Colnagos and came upon the site. Back then, there was only a single forum. Eight years on the forum and I've finally passed 2000 posts.

I know it was when RBR first came out we had the old format. Maybe it was 2000 but sure thought it was in late 90's like i said with age your memory goes

I was too drunk to remember when or how, but I think it involved MTBR, some good vodka, and a dream of going faster. I'm still slow .

 

[magnolialover]

For me..

2004 I think it was, mostly because I wanted to flame someone who made a stupid comment about a road race my team helped put on locally. Something about "Why don't we get t-shirts like at a 5k race?" Ah runners, they no understand bike racing. At all.

 

[robdamanii]

Not even sure when the join date was. I just clicked over here when I was checking out road bike info. I didn't even seriously ride the road much, but it feels like it's really grown on me a lot in the past couple of years.

Way back when

When? In the words of George W. Bush (sort of), it's "unrememberable."

 

[bigbri]

Whatever became of ...

Kristen who had the rapt attention of all the fine young dudes offering advice on what to look for in a new road bike? Or that "greasemonkey" guy who used to snarl a lot? Is that you Grumpy? Not that it matters ... just wonderin'.
Like a few others here, it would appear, I stumbled upon the joint while doing research for my Colnago MxL back in 2000. It was well established then so I think it began in '99 or so. I went by RoyGBiv, until they changed the format, got frustrated and lost interest. Not sure why I came back in 2005 - probably bored at work. Good to see it's still a lively community.

 

[Mr. Versatile]

I was looking for a review on something. Don't remember what, bit I probably found the site through Google. I think that was sometime in 2005.
