BoTM Bike of The Month November 2023 - "Rider Special" now taking entries

[raidan73]

For November we're doing a "Rider Special" theme. This is for bikes that are still out there getting dirty. It's no place for a garage queen, or a bike you carried a couple of miles to place on a trail. The pics must be of the bike out in the wild, no photo's of bike, post ride, cleaned and polished in the garden.

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 November. Entries submitted after November 30th will not be counted. The poll will go up shortly after the nominations close and will run for a week.

Nice theme this month.
I'd like to enter my Orange Aluminum "O" #2

boy"O"boy's 1991 Orange Aluminum "O"

If it looks familiar - I entered this into January's normal month as the only entry covered in mud to judge reaction against the 'clean'
It's fair to say, that idea fell flat on it's face! - and I should have entered the 'clean' version. So with this month's special being 'rider' this should suit it better!

Well, seeing as it's Twosday ~ 22.02.22 or 02.22.22 depending on how you like your dates! - I thought it would be appropriate to start a build thread for my own "O" #2 It all started here ~ https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/boy-o-boys-1991-orange-aluminium-o.380138/page-5 Back in 2020...

Rider Special? Here's the special-est rider, MattiThundrrr's Duck Norris. No idea what model, no idea what year, but it rolls.
Constantly evolving, never going to be a build spec, will never be completed. I guess you can call this a build thread:

Duck Norris!

What do you get when you cross a duck... with a moose? Duck Norris!

@Guigui58 Kona Cinder Cone 1991.

Although the drivetrain has been modernized a bit, the rest of the bike is mostly original. I use it pretty often alternating with my more modern bike!

After a typical ride :
