Should there be a commuting classifieds section.....

26" road tyres
Racks
Panniers

Not MTB and the road classifieds is full of 'roady' bits so should there be a seperate classifieds for commuting (and touring as there is a big overlap) 'stuff' do you think?

    Don't think so, it's a bit subjective

    But I commute on 700c wheels and no rack or panniers
    Carlsberg don't make cycle clothing, but if they did it would probably still not be as good as Assos

    A commute bike can be anything I see anything from knobbly tires to deep section TT type wheels.

    a commute bike is even less of a useful term than a hybrid really in that in can be anything.

    I voted no, a classifieds section is generally more useful the more people are on it - splitting some people off from the Road/MTB boards could make them less useful while also not achieving "critical mass" for the new board.

    There's certainly bits and pieces which would fall into commuting that wouldn't fall into Road, or MTB. (I'm thinking folding bikes, there's probably a few other examples).

    Dunno though, too much separation of the classifieds would mean people looked at them less.
