BoTM Bike of The Month January 2023 - now taking entries

[Tomianson]

It feels disgusting to say, but I actually like that Klein!

It's almost... humble?

I think it's the levers and thumbies that sneak it past my Anti-Kleindar.

Especially running them with 8spd XTR!

Whatever will the purists say!?

Lol. Purists be dammed.
Cheers, kind words. Believe it or not it’s my rider Klein so I built it for dependability hence thumbshifters and SS5 levers. It just works so well.
Looking forwards to a summer of long rides on it.

I'll have a go with this one. As it's a regular rider, I've chosen a pic that shows it off post ride.....muddy as hell and flat tyre! The 2nd pic is Show format.

Well, seeing as it's Twosday ~ 22.02.22 or 02.22.22 depending on how you like your dates! - I thought it would be appropriate to start a build thread for my own "O" #2 It all started here ~ https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/boy-o-boys-1991-orange-aluminium-o.380138/page-5 Back in 2020...

Not a Klein fan but the one above is already calling for my vote.

Been tinkering on and off with this one, but I think the latest changes have worked really well, so I’ll enter this months comp

Oh, I can believe it.

And that's the reason it might be only about the third Klein I've ever liked!

I like the Klein and would ride the Yeti but the Volvo Canondale has Tinker behind it so i will go w/the red and yellow beast.

Where was the post directing us to the vote?

Completely missed it.
