    So, I've been gone for a while. I'm back now and trying to find parts for a new Superlight build. I found the market place gone and now replaced by classified ads. I remember a time when I build a 29er for under $700 all with amazingly cheap and high quality used parts I bought from STR members. Is it just me or has the new classified section kind of ruined a once amazing resource?

    Those were the good old days.

    Just keep an eye on the home page classifieds.

    Stay thirsty my friend.

    I agree, sometimes when I would see something posted for sale it would remind me that I needed that item. The new system blows!

    There are still good deals in the classifieds, it just doesn't litter the home page like the old MP used to.

    From a Moderators point of view, the old Market Place was out dated for the amount of members we have now and was getting out of hand with the     bump after bump, SPAM, etc. It really was a PITA to clean up and close threads that no longer had the stuff available.

    Like trail work, I do this on my own time and so do the other Mods. So if any of you want to moderate, let me know.

    The Discussions for this are here: http://www.socaltrailriders.org/forum/website-discussion/45312-new-classifieds.html and here: http://www.socaltrailriders.org/for...e-new-classifieds-want-market-place-back.html

    Continue your "discussion" there. This thread now closed.
