Well that was a real test of my copy and pasting skills - 30 entries this month! You're still only getting one vote though :LOL: So, here we go; the poll will close in a week. Stressed’s 1994 Muddy Fox Monarch Ultra MSYT’s 1993 KHS Montana Team boy"O"boy's 1991 Orange Aluminum "O"...

Congratulations to @deanphoto on coming out on top, by the narrowest of margins. You can view the build thread, and more superb images of Team RTS here

A field of 14 to choose from this month. Plenty of variety in the mix too. Carge's 1991 Bontrager Race Slackboys 1991 GT Zaskar Siish’ weird estay thing (Suspected British Eagle Boss) synlos' 1989 Rocky Mountain Blizzard PhillB's 1991 GT Team Avalanche Midnight Aurora Jourian's 1987...

This month threatened to be a one horse race for a few days, then a two horse race for even longer! We've ended up with eight to choose from and I'll bet it won't be as easy to choose as people first thought it might be. The poll will run for 7 days. Good luck all :) Tomianson’s 1993 Team Fat...

Another thread that was the victim of our hacker. I'll keep updating the timetable below. Feel free to add your own suggestions for theme months or anything else BoTM related, and no, you can't have more than one vote 🤣 August 2023 - Steel is real September 2023 - Standard month October 2023 -...

Congratulations to @mcada who scooped the Bike if The Month award for June with almost half of the votes. Matthias carried out a full bare metal restoration, including repairs to the pinholed frame, and the end result is stunning 8)

November was an 'Amnesty Special', where people got another chance to enter a bike that had tried, and failed, previously. If you take look at the line-up you'll probably be surprised that many of them hadn't already won; a testament to the standard of bikes on the site. We got a bumper crop of...

As we do every 3 months, this one is a special. I know a few people (not looking at anyone in particular, @Peachy! :LOL:) would prefer that bikes were allowed to be entered more than twice (please read the rules if you're unsure). Well that isn't going to change any time soon, but for one month...

@Spaltinho's Grove came out on top of a 14 strong field this month, with 18% of the votes. You can read more about the bike in the build thread, where you can also see a Grove X frame, with an amazing glow in the dark paint finish. You can check out the full list of entries in the poll thread...

Oops! Almost forgot that I had agreed to help out this month, sorry @raidan73 :eek: Original one owner from new special Usual rules, poll finishes in T-minus 7 days.

It was great to see something a little less well known take the win for July. @Si_33's Moulton came out on top of a small but strong field, which included a Yeti Ultimate, a Mountain Goat Whiskeytown Racer and a Klein Attitude, to name just a few. The AM-ATB raked in over 21% of the votes, which...

So this month we're having an 'original owner special'. To clarify, the bike must have been owned from new by the person entering it. If you don't have a build thread it would really help your cause to write one before entering, I think the back story and history will really help the entries. I...

Congratulations to @Dimas for winning the June competition, against a really strong field. You can see all the entries in the poll thread here and can see more pics of the winner in the build thread here

Well done to @Jam_SWorks, and his Trek 8900 Pro, for a great win in the April 2022 competition. From a strong field of 15, that included titanium offerings from GT and Fat Chance, a classic Breezer Lightning XTR and a custom Dirt Shark, getting 22% of the 123 votes was no mean feat. You can see...

This months we're having a Kona special - dedicated to our own Phillip "pipmeister" Mock, who sadly passed away in March. Pip's dedication to the history of the Kona brand and the collating of information and serial numbers on this site is known to most I'm sure and May's competition is a nod to...
