BoTM Bike of The Month April 2024 - now taking entries

[raidan73]

So much for Spring being round the corner! Still at least the evenings are drawing out. Another standard month for April, with May being a Canadian Special month. So let's see what you've got...

Useful for the poll if you can structure your nomination as follows:

username's Year Manufacturer Model , e.g. @al's 1995 weird bouncy thing
Image(s) MAXIMUM OF 2
Finally please include a link to your machine in the relevant Reader's Bikes section. If you don't have an existing post now is the time to add one with as much detail as you like!
Link to all the rules http://www.retrobike.co.uk/wiki/BoTM_Rules

Nominations thread will run for the entire month of April. Entries submitted after April the 30th will not be counted. The poll will go up shortly after the nominations close and will run for a week.

I like that a lot... just how I would have had a bike back in the 90's!

Thanks @Antwack , I’m glad I went down the route of restoring it how I had it.

Another colorful entry!

@Guigui58 1997 Kona Ku

I found it last year and added it to the Ku registry. Since then, I've been making some small changes here and there. It's a bit battered, but still very fun to ride!

Let's give this a go. There's usually way better bikes than mine, but something different maybe.

Kona A'ha

Have been after one of these for years, then one literally pops up on the doorstep! Kona A'ha 1997 As it sits at the moment, still a few parts to go, and need to decide what to do with the cranks. They look cool, but after coming across a few other builds I'm tempted to convert the bb to euro...
