Am I missing something here


Twelve entries....... But we didn't have a BOTM in November :shock:


June was a tie!

I'm a really bad poet.....



Ahhhh..... that would explain why then
 
What a nice this was! I really love the Mantis and the Berthoud and the OG and the Yeti. But I LOVE the transfomation of the Potts (great rebuild thread). I wish it were my size, um, for fantasizing purposes.

Dang, I had to go Ibis. Gotta vote a for a bike I could actually see myself riding.
 
Re:

Now that's a tough choice.

Originally I would have gone with the DBR but I've gone off the purple touches and Smoke/Smoke combo. The Mantis is the one I would like to own but not ride so that's out. I have mental problems with the Merlin/Kona that I'm not going to go into again :LOL:

So the Vulcan wins. It looks like it would suit my legs and looks like it would go like stink. It's the one out of the twelve that I'd chose to own and would like to ride most.
 
So which would I most want to throw a leg over?
Well it came down to two, one of them even looked like it could have been shot on my local trails (The Rocky Blizzard) but alas my fetish for all things DB meant that Wadsy's Axis TT dripping in cool components got my vote.

Well done to all entries, brilliantly presented specimens of the retro breed.
 
Re:

Its like a Whos Who of Retro bike this year...,

Prolific All.

a tough choice....
 
Re:

The Mantis makes me feel funny like the moment Christmas day arrives as a kid and you run down stairs in your single sock and vest and feel fuzzy inside like the only thing that exists in the entire world is that front room filled with presents at that moment... -sigh- ... :)


Just me then!
