BotM May 2018 nominations

Haaland your bike makes my trousers feel very snug around the frontage... and if that makes you feel a little uncomfortable, then save a thought for me!


al.

lucky your not wearing lycra shorts

Al's full frontage isnt a pleasant thought in any trousers at least lycra has a bit of give for added comfort

So given the quality of bikes so far I dont expect to win but I'll throw the RBG's Bromwich into the bucket.

British built 1989 built lugged and fillet brazed frame in teeny size, frame cost me nothing - i had to cut out the seatpost and unsieze the bottom bracket cup and stem, groupset cost nothing - came from a free panasonic alu bike with a cracked headtube and it was a period correct 1989 only mountain LX group , powder £25, decals £26, finishing kit .......... tenner at most - mainly car boot pickups and bike strip parts, looks a peach for that doesnt it - priceless.

I think that would now be for next month? It is lovely though. fabtastic colour too. Who did the powder?

Powder was done by York powder coating ..... it wasnt brilliant as I had to get a mate to face and chase all the threads and seatpost reamed hence so cheap, I wouldnt recommend them as it was also meant to be metallic .

And DOH!............... next month/this month

Wow! Love the fork and all the IRD! Great build as always Bjørnar.
