Paul,
Denise Wilson uses her RatRacer to comute on in central London but no one would say that a Ratty is a Street class bike. Likewise Dave Tigwell rides everywhere on his Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa....... (or do I have too many a's?). I've even done the odd road mile on the NoCom.

Anyway, clearly different people consider different things suitable for road use. I must admit that I haven't been involved in sports class for quite a while but I seem to remember that it was up to the riders in the class to agree what was in/out. Maybe the Comp Sec can clarify?

Paul
 
I've also used my Rapto for commuting around York, and between sites, when I worked there but it was on the basis of the seat height rule that I've not been claiming it to be S/St.
 
Personally I think its not only brave but admirable to use it as your only form of transport!

I think it's the lack of a seat height rule in the S/St classes this year that needs to be clarified. I can't remember there being such a rule last season either, indeed that was the reason I entered the Rapto for those classes.

Perhaps as a compromise the seat height rule could be reintroduced next season, I would have no problem with that but it would be a shame to change the eligability mid-season.

As for the single mode of transport Barney it's partly motivated by a desire to keep as much money in my pocket for an eventual mortgage of doom, trust me I miss an engine everytime I have to lug a weeks worth of shopping up a steep dual carrigeway and somehow get into the right lane without being mashed!

There has been a lot of discussion of Sports Class Rules in the past, and they usually end up adding confusion rather than reducing it!

I thought we had  decided that it was for those in the Sports class to decide?

Regarding classes and bikes last weekend, I will get the results complete first and then edit the machines and classes.
On that front things are looking clearer but not much...Cry

Cheers gNick. Please see my previous note about Joe Parker's bike. Nikki was riding the Mason (O/P/U/Mf/M/L) at Preston.

Eddie Robbins was riding a tail-faired trike, so I guess O/P/Mf/M

Nick,
from my perspective for Round 2 Race 1:
Places 6-10 appear sensible (my results are spot on with my cycle computer)
I guess 1-5 are sound too.

No comments on classes though ;-)
