Alternative Road Bike of the Year

[ededwards]

Liking Dorian's Alternative Bikes of the Year thread in the MTB section http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewto ... sc&start=0 so thought about similar for the road - here's a few that really did it for me but didn't win rBoTM (and if you want to see all the winners together and vote for rBoTY, just go here http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=181013).

Old Ned's Buzz

Foz' Caygill

And then a string of Mark34's beauties (having seen them in person they are staggering)

TVT Lemond

Another TVT Lemond :shock:

Alan Carbonio

Any more from 2011 that didn't win rBoTM (or perhaps weren't even entered) that make you go mmmmmm.....

I thought Goldies '74 Viscount Aerospace Pro was beautiful. I keep going back and looking at that crankset...

My PEKA did surprisingly terrible with a rBOTM. True, it didn't have pedals fitted and some complained about the absence of hoods (hoods won't fit the modified levers!), but it is still a custom frame built by Peter Serier, showing much interesting detailing.

I thought your PEKA was a bobby dazzler Elev. But I these were the two bikes that instantly came to mind when I was thinking about my rBOTY were:

and:

...and I know the Wilson's not built up yet, so it's a bit cheeky putting it forward, but I'd love to see it in rBOTM when it's done.

I really enjoyed all of Spikes' entries.

The Wilson is finished now, but I haven't had chance to take any photos for Kevin.

Finished with Nuovo Record, TA Chainset and Weinmann Centrepull's, looks absolutely outstanding...

Ill try and get some pictures soon...
