What categories of bike do you own?

[Drago]

Well, whatcha got?

 

[Oldfentiger]

Could you add a box for CX/Gravel bikes please?

 

[Drago]

I would love to, and recumbents etc, but maxed out on the number of categories it permits memto have

Bummer. I feel cheated now, and my CX bike is feeling marginalised. It's descrimination, I tell ya

I have included front suspension but with a full and mighty 50mm travel, it is nothing like modern bikes. It does have hydraulic brakes! Not disks though.

Delete some of the pointless categories, like 'sportive bike' and 'full on' and 'light tourer' and three different MTB descriptions, in order to make room for actual categories like track, TT, CX, adventure...etc..

I have a couple of steel framed drop handlebar bikes, one 80s one modern. I'd call them racers, but I can't understand your categories. What is a sportive bike? I've ridden sportives on my modern steel bike.

I've gone for racer.

A Sportive bike is what manufacturers call a sportive bike in their catalogues - usually a racer type machine, more relaxed geometry, wider clearances, often mudguard and rack bosses. Sometimes referred to as a Winter Bike in the bizarre world of the cylcling press. Any questions regarding the category should be directed to them, as its their invention.

I appreciate you could ride your penny farthing in a Sportive if you felt like doing so.

Should we also ask the same manufacturers why CX bikes are not included here?

I have seven bikes and could only check two boxes.

er, tandem?

You might want to read my previous post about the forum not permitting me any more categories. Post #3 if you care to take the time.

[Drago]

But then some argumentative sort would then complain that I'd deleted a category that they had an interest in - every category already has at least one vote, so someone else would be disadvantaged just to suit you. I can't please all of the people, all of the time.

I wanted to plop a fair few more in, but the forum software wouldn't let me. Get over it. Don't turn an interesting bit of fun into a typical argument.

I suspect I'm not the only one with a CX bike though...
