I don't care, but if we have a poll on this I suggest it have more than two choices:

_____ noooo


_____ yes


__X__ abstain

I’m concerned about voter fraud.

Hang on, I'll have somebody do a driveby with some water so you can wash the coercion down, be ready, they can't stop or they'll get busted. ;)

Sigh. Is there nothing better?

I no longer care whether or not the sub-forum exists, if I ever did. Just want an end to all the peripheral silliness.

CliffordK 06-05-21 05:32 PM

I think my bike has an identity crisis...

Are you saying it is excluded everywhere?

This is doubly confusing. Is this asking whether we want it to be a subforum of this subforum ow whether we want it to exist at all.. Currently it is a subform of the forum, not a subforum.

Also, I agree that there should be an "I don't care" choice.

Eight speed and my next restoration project - Quintanna Roo and, to be honest, I really don't like the bike but after getting it back three times, I figure I better build it up once and for all...

I don't have any bikes with indexed shifting, much less integrated shifters/brake levers aka 'Brifters'... so... like rhm - my vote is to Abstain from voting...

"Poll to have a poll to have a forum..."

Are you sure this doesn't have something to do with the engineering principals of the Rover P6 I went to see today?

I'm confused! I have a frame that predates brifters but has been built with them,10 speed. Does it qualify?
should all the threads on the topic be moved from all other threads?

merziac 06-05-21 07:13 PM

A NO vote is to keep it all right here where it belongs so we can continue to make the secret sauce that makes this C+V forum the best. ;)

That will require a new poll, feel free, this one is in or out, no middle ground. ;)

Not sure of anything but a NO vote keeps everything here as it should be, IMO. ;)

So... are we going by "Eroica Rules"?

The C40 likely had some type of brifters before I got it as a bare frame, and built it up with 11s (and a very non-vintage corncob).
