BoTM Bike of The Month February 2024 - UK Special: Now taking entries

[raidan73]

Forgive me, as I'm bit behind already on this short month. The theme for February is UK brands only (referring to the frame here) and we'll do other locations as the year progresses. Other than that, all the normal rules apply.

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 the 29th will not be counted. The poll will go up shortly after the nominations close and will run for a week.

Ok, since we’re going with Uk made. Last year I got my 1993 Raleigh special products dynatech ex team Barry Clarke bike back out of storage, I’ve had this as the second owner after Barry at the end of 1993 off the top of my head. MMC frame, 90% xtr m900. As always looking forward to seeing other entries!

(I've entered this before - I think it was just a standard month though - apologies if it wasn't!)

1987 Raleigh Avanti - Banana Edition

Hey folks. So this is my Raleigh Avanti... or what I believe to be an Avanti. I picked this bike up in 2020 after seeing it on eBay. It had a pretty random paint job but I spied the group and 531 decal and used the catalogues to track down the model. I'm fairly certain, only the Avanti had...
