    BoTM Bike of The Month March 2025 now taking entries

    I love the Kona Stars and Bars colour scheme and a titanium frame is probably the ultimate for me, but I can't help thinking there's too much red in all the other components

    Merckx MX Leader

    This is a classic retro-mod build, with one of the best steel frames from the 90's and one of the best looking modern silver groupsets.

    Work bikes

    My new work bike. Excellent way to get around the 40 acres of vineyard I'm currently managing. I used to have a 94 Lavadome build and swapped most of the parts over to this one. Drivetrain and shifters are Deore LX 563 and a pair of Rockshox forks with short travel.

    Reynolds 531 tube frames with clearance for 32 mm tires

    Re: I stand corrected on the tyre clearance for 80's/90's steel frames. The framesets I've built up, have mainly been the type that would have been raced or used without mudguards. There is a difference in handling characteristics between a short wheelbase (non Mudguard) and a long wheelbase...
