sort of a hard decision but not.

the reasons i did not vote for some bikes:-

1. using v brakes when a canti cable hanger was there

2. looking like the bike has never been used . . . ever, simply wrong

3. klein and fat, i am very sorry to say this, but i am bored of them.

4. didn't think some of the photo's themselves did the bikes justice.

------------

reasons i voted for what i did.

1. good pic

2. bike looks great, colours look bright

3. it's my favourite brand

4. it obviously gets ridden
 
Narrowed is down to only two:

dendy's Saracen
trip's Merlin




BTW John: although 1980 was a good year for the stumpjumper, 1990 rocked my boat a bit more! So that's why my name is Stumpjumper1990!
 
Very, very tough this month. I would have been happy to vote for at least half of them but narrowed it down to:

Mr Ship's Manitou.
Radislow's Wicked.
Nevadasmith's Prestige.
Sinnerman's Lloyd...........

Went for Nevadasmith's Orange Prestige in the end as it's a bike I've followed round the site and love the fact it's almost unrestored but still in superb condition. Lovely. :cool:
 
My 'ead 'urts wi' thinkin'. I guess we all have different methods of deciding...mine is "what would I buy?" I don't like e-stays and some just look wrong with front bouncers to me, so that narrowed it down!

Got me down to four: Dendy's Kili (brand loyalty!), novekili's Merlin Ti (a few years ago would have been my clear winner, but me and drops - even the BEST ever - no longer compatible), Disco Drive's Dean Ti (but I'd have to change the rear wheel) and oneschnark's FC 10th (but a bit too up-market for me).

So ... the naked Kili gets my vote. Lovely, yet attainable to mere mortals (and even pensioners!).
 
My vote for wtb_rider's Grove X.

Great bike, great build and very nice pics. But anyway, most of the bikes shared are awesome...
