rBoTM August 2013 - Nominations Please

1993 Ibis Scorcher

Build thread (and more background on Scorchers for those unfamiliar with them):

I recognize this may be an unconventional or even controversial entry for the rBoTM category. It’s really neither a true road nor mountain bike. The frame, fork and some components are probably a little more like a road bike, so I went with the road category (after consultation with John).

I’m scrambling to get an interesting companion piece to this bike done in time for entry this month in the >97 BoTM. Stay tuned.

I'd like to put forward my 1988 / 89 Peugeot 653 Athena

Its the bike I didn't finish when I was 14 / 15. The plan was to build it as I would have back then and I very much stuck with that.
