BoTM Bike of The Month July 2021 - nominations thread

[raidan73]

Will probably do a special for August but just a regular month again for July. Hopefully everyone is getting a bit of decent weather now and bringing out their prized vintage bikes - so why not take a couple of pics and show them off here

Useful for the poll if you can structure your nomination as follows:

username's Year Manufacturer Model , e.g. John's 1990 Kona Lavadome
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!
Link to all the rules http://www.retrobike.co.uk/wiki/BoTM_Rules

Nominations thread will run for the entire month. Entries submitted after July 31st will not be counted. The poll will go up shortly after the nominations close and will run for a week.

@raidan73 Any chance of a heads up regarding August’s theme?

You assume I know what it's going to be Chris? Let me have a think and read through the suggestions thread

Hello
There is always a first time - here is one of my favourite riders, mcada's 1991 Steve Potts Cross-Country-Racer black-white Edition


No build thread, but lots here (incl former versions)

Steve Potts - Cross Country Racer 1991

This white Steve Potts CCR looks like a bit the Steve´s personal CCR. WIth it´s unique Steve Potts stem and the classic Specialized / WTB group, it got a timeless classic MTB with great racing attributes

It was mentioned in my build thread that this hadn't been entered into BOTM......and daveyla's Pace was mentioned as the reason why.
Well. Truth is....love that Pace and build thread so kept my powder dry for another month.

Here's my entry for this month. Build #3 this year! ....I'm getting quicker than the 6yrs + it took to do my Pace RC100S

boy"O"boy's 1990 Klein Attitude Dolomite

build thread here->

boy"O"boy's 1990 Klein Attitude Dolomite/ Team USA/ Mavic build

Back to 1990...this bike to me was the stuff of dreams. I blame that picture in Richards Ultimate bicycle book....Aesthetically perfect, instantly recognised, you couldn't mistake the 'Dolomite' or 'Team USA' colourway for anything else. If you could afford to build one of these with a dream...

And pics.. .

Might as well chuck this in this month. It all came together rather quickly so no build thread.
Tom I’Anson’s 1994 Klein Attitude Sea & Sky

a utility build with Xt m737 so it’s properly rideable without being too precious. Looks the part too I think.

 

[captaincowelly]

Think it should be banned for lack of build thread.Forever.Nothing to do with the fact that I've already entered and that's the best place for a set of sunset rims I've ever seen.Never would have thought of that.Perfect combo.Sunset,sea,sky.Even the words work.Aaargh!
Absolutely love it,and I don't really go for metallic paints,metallic green being one of my most disliked.But I love that.
Going away now to see if any other tastes have changed.Now where did I store that Black Lace album?
Awesome Tom!
