Happy new year all! Now it's time to show us the builds you've been finishing off over the holidays. Just a normal month, so anything goes - well anything that sits within the large list of rules anyway!

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

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!

Since a build-up thread is desired here, here is the link:

1990 Specialized Rock Hopper Resurrection

I found this bike on ebay and thought it would be just right as a city bike. I've always wanted a Specialized and this was almost free. It was all original and nothing really seemed broken. As it turned out, it wasn't... I didn't want to buy new parts so I dug through the parts box and...

I’ll have a go with one of my builds. I put this together about a year ago and due to losing my work space it’s been stored and hardly seen the light of day. Built up from a frame I bought from a bike charity. It’s repainted in burnt orange. Pace forks with full XT. MA40 rims.
