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.

This is true, but to me it doesn't feel like it. It feels like it is post 98 mtb and for road stuff it's like er...don't realy know where to put this, so i'll post here and hope it doesn't ruffle the feathers.
Thats just the impression I've gotten, not saying it's right, just my view. Maybe it's becuase before (if I'm remembering correctly there wasn't road or post 98, but at some point there was a decision to split it and you got pre and post, then road, So i always view the pre /post sections as mtb... but thats maybe just me.

I feel the same.

I have never thought to put any road bike stuff in the post 98 section for that reason, although I know a few of the regulars on there are equally at home on a road bike.

Re:

All, since you're reading this thread and therefore have some interest in modern road, could you read my thread here: viewtopic.php?f=41&t=316521 about selecting a 1500g wheelset, please?

JamesM is right, modern road bikes go in the 98+ section.
While I do understand that road bikes and MTBs are not the same, if we have to split up 98+ in road and MTB parts, there will be too little going on to make either section even remotely interesting.

EDIT : more to the point, why are you riding modern road bikes? Are the retro ones not good enough?

Is that the answer on the request from the powers of above?
