Newer road bike section?

T'boo Ted · Jan 26, 2015

Just wondering, we nowdays have split the MTB in pre and post 97 sections, but we only have a classic road bike section. Now I know this may only appeal to me, but what of the idea of a newer roadie section.
I've recent;ly become a convert to the road, and while I love old MTBs, i have no real interest in old road bikes.
I guess I'm asking, would there be much interest in this, enough to make a section? Or am I deluded and need to go ride my mtb some more... :xmas-cool:

I only ride modern road and only use this cycle forum, so it'd be of intetest to me. I only just learnt about asymetric Shimano chains - funky!

I like the idea of it too , I guess there are other forums out there for modern bikes but this is the only one I use

Yeah I use a couple of road biek forums, but they are very much technical/training/noob why can't I put my cranks on backwards/look at my hung foo chung bike/when I was a pro I blah blah blah...this place is much more chilled out and people like ing bikes for bikes, not just as training tools

Ohhh, that rules Dave out then, he's HARD CORE. :mrgreen:

It would be nice to have somewhere to natter and post pics of more modern / carbon bikes without the icy wind of silence blowing through the thread.

If you look the sections are Retro MTB 97, Retro Classic Road and Bike Chat 98. So the 98 section is for any bike from 98 on, mtb or road. That's how I've always viewed it and I've seen plenty of posts concerning modern road stuff in the 98 section.
