Or perhaps "non-26er post '98".........

Clown wheel specials....

Of which I have a couple...

I wonder if we need another sub-division?... as there are some quite "retro bikes" and some very modern bikes in the mix.

Careful, you’ll get banned for that kind of thinking round here.

Thought I should contribute happy to see this back again. 2009 Yeti ASR with a M970 group and King headset/hubs.

The original build was a disappointment being over 25lbs, lots of big and little upgrades got it down to 23.25. A fast fun bike to ride, but it will forever be stuck in time due to all the old standards of the frame.

I’ll enter this. I’m under no illusions that it will compete, just want to support Adrian’s efforts and add to the entries.

iveto1983’s Spooky Metalhead. Build thread just added here: https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/spooky-metalhead.434330/

Well I'd say the first outing in a while has been a success. I'll try and get the poll up in a while and will have a read through the comments on how we might proceed in the future. I appreciate that 1998 and newer is a huge category encompassing massive changes in technology, wheel sizes, geometry etc but I'm conscious of killing the competition with too many restrictions.

Good first turnout

I thought alternating between 26 and 27.5/29 was a good idea.
