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.

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'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?

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.

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...
