C+V rider, it goes here.
C+V frame or parts, it goes here.
C+V attitude, it goes here.
Period, IMO.

I still think we should have a For Trade subforum though.

I support any decision that enables me to say "brifter" as often as possible.

Wait, I thought I was voting against having a poll to see if we wanted to have a poll to see how we felt about the new forum....

I don't see a big need to keep things separate.
One might break Mechanics into components. So, Brifter Repair, Derailleur Hacks, Chains, etc. But, even with that, most readers answering questions won't be looking at a single subforum unless they have a specialized business in just that issue. And, on occasion, users won't know the source of their problems, or a problem could span several components.
If people use more descriptive titles than "We got a present for you.", one can pick up interesting stuff with searches as needed.

Bring those bikes back to our forum. Where they belong. Where they'll get viewed. Instead of being ignored in the ill conceived forum.

But, here, if I'm riding along the right side of the road and pull over to take a photo, it doesn't make sense to turn the bicycle backwards for the photo op, as if I was riding on the wrong side of the road.

Plus, you can see the spindly Titanium skewers which I've since deemed not worth using.
