Thanks Chris for sorting out the uploading etc. I’ve added comments to the OP to explain a couple things. Good luck to all.
I know the theme hasn’t gone down well with some people but I’m thinking an annual ‘blue collar bike’ competition would be welcomed by most.

Couldn't agree more, one of the best themes for BOTM in ages, the number of entries speaks for itself.

Tough decision for who gets my vote this month! :)

My pleasure Adrian, although I must admit it took longer than I thought it would! Especially with poor rural broadband speeds. :facepalm:
 
Re:

So many bikes to choose from.. :) For me it's between the beautifully green Muddy Fox, that Stumpjumper with my all-time favorite graphics and the nicely restored Gary Fisher.

And big respect to those of you who keep up this voting tradition month in month out!
 
Re:

Great month with some lovely entries. I've reduced my options to two: it's gonna be either a red or a blue bike :LOL: .
Still a tough decision..!
 
Andy T's Tushingham gets my vote.

An amazing build, superb attention to detail and a top-notch effort, in the true spirit of BOTM.

I really don't like this theme of "non-flagship" entries though.There's nothing stopping anyone entering a bike which doesn't have XTR, XC Pro or Record OR, but to preclude such bikes from entering the BOTM competition is a crazy decision IMO. For me, it's the build spec, the effort in hunting parts (whatever marque they happen to have), the paintwork, the tyres, the final outcome that says to me a build is worthy of the honour of that title. Not what it's got hanging off it.

I think 108 posts & 6707 views kind of speaks for it's self! the only downside being it took me ages to choose which got my vote.
My favorite bike of the month so far :cool:
 
Re:

Belting month for sure and I could have voted for half a dozen at least! In the end I had to go for one of my two old bikes entered though. :cool:
