We've done this one before, but it's been a while. This is aimed at the kind of bike that the vast majority of us probably started out with. In my era that was Exage equipped bikes for my mates and I, and Mountain LX if you were really lucky. So we're saying no to Deore, Deore DX, XT, XTR and the equivalents from the other big names. No hanging 200GS from a Yeti either, cos we'll know what you're up to! Nothing custom built. No Ringle stems. Think off the shelf bikes with one of those fancy Zoom stems and a Fred Salmon brake booster. That's where we're aiming here.
The theme months can sometimes have a few grey areas and potential for taking advantages of loopholes but if everyone keeps in the spirit of the competition then we'll be alright I'm sure. The overriding caveat is that my decision is final!
There's a 20 bike entry limit on this month, so don't hang around.
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!

Nominations thread will run from now until the end of August. Entries submitted after August 31st will not be counted. The poll will go up shortly after the nominations close and will run for a week.
