Before top pull mechs were invented that was the best way to actuate a bottom pull mech from the top. The inner cable is clamped at the BB and it's actually the outer cable that moves the mech!
Clever solution to a late eighties problem. And a nice bike.

Top marks everyone
^^^ THAT is why this month is great. Level playing field.

I haven't said anything about the "debate" because I always vote for the BOTM I like looking at most. I'm not bothered about the make, if it's a stunner I'm going to vote. I know if I owned a Yeti, Klein, or Fat I'd have to sell it to pay off my student loan, so I'm happy others do and I can look at them!
Every month I watch with baited breath as the entries come in, and there will always be one bike that for me stands out amongst the rest. I never really know why but it's like going round an art gallery and a painting just speaking to you. (I know this sounds really pretentious and I can assure you I'm not!) It might not be the best in terms of fine art, but it's my favorite and the one I'd happily stare at for hours.
I do love the British cuisine joke though, I've been throughout Europe and had it thrown at me all over, I suspect we might be getting marked down due to our diet whilst abroad consisting of 50% cholesterol and 50% beer! The only country where the cuisine insult takes a back step is Italy where I was told "you British smell of milk" I never really got to the bottom of it!

I work for a Japanese company and its a standing joke with them that even a blind jap would know if a "ROUND EYE" walked into a room as we all smell of milk !... seems they don't farm cattle way out east and use very little dairy products as a result
