A definitive line-up for sure. Special mentions to the Grove and DOGS; really ace. But the Lavoie Titanium screams RIDE ME NOW! (I'd have to stick on some SPDs beforehand) so that get's my vote

Frame on that Mountain Goat is fabulous. It might get my vote but it's not an easy choice.
These are all lovely bikes/builds, so how do I decide…?
Well here’s an old man’s ramblings, to be taken with a pinch of salt, obviously!
Applying “Rule #1”, ‘coloured cable outers… NO!’ eliminates a few for a start.
Prometheus -
Grove - out - (rule #1)
Breezer - out - pedal reflectors/stem
BOLX - out - white brake blocks/753 on fork legs
Tribute - out - (rule #1)
Potts -
Sonic - out - (rule #1)
MGD - out - the bottle cage
Brave - out - purple rims
Lavoie -
RTS - out - tri spokes
Rocky -
Shark -
That whittles it down to five.
So, which would I want to own and ride out of those?
The Lavoie

Congrats to all the monthly winners, not an easy choice. But the there is one that I really would love to throw a leg over & point at some dusty singletrack.
