BoTM Bike of The Month February 2023 - repaints special

[raidan73]

February brings another theme month; every bike entered must have been repainted. Whether it was a no expense spared professional job or a rattle can special doesn't matter but we will need to see evidence of the repaint, either in the linked build thread, or the two pics submitted here. All other rules remain the same

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 February. Entries submitted after February 28th will not be counted. The poll will go up shortly after the nominations close and will run for a week.

A repaint that now needs to be repainted again - donk's 1989 or 1990 brodie climbmax - most likely a 1990 based on a recent post here, hard to remember after 30+ years of original uninterrupted ownership.

Original colour was a deep metallic flake green. Hard to see in one of the few pictures I have of it.

I had it repainted to panels in about 1994 by Beeks Custom Refinishing in Toronto.

Added the Paul Brodie stem when he did a run a few years ago. Parts on both are pretty much the same.

Starting to think about having velocolour do a modern interpretation of a classic brodie paint job, maybe next winter. Thinking a modified panel /fade with their fineline transition.

1990 Brodie Climbmax

Here is my 1990 Brodie Climbmax. I've had it since new. The bike was repainted in around 1994 by Beeks Custom Refinishing in Toronto. The fork was replaced due to a broken steerer tube. This appears to be a 3rd generation as it has the aluminum drop outs and drilled crown, while the original...

Hi All. So, after completing the Trek 8700 (well...it's still an on going project as such!) I started to get a bit 'Twitchy' about not having in projects in reserve. I posted a wanted ad with no specific bikes in mind and development_cycle came to my aid with 2 worthy contenders. I ended up...

Crikey that Trek is absolutely lovely, and taking me back down memory lane in terms of dream bikes when I was a teen!

Is it one BOTM entry per bike, or two in the rules? (I know there was the amnesty BOTM, but does that count to the total?)
