[john]

Now taking nominations for December 2009. It's a 'normal' month so anything goes. Guidelines here, please take time to read them > http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8326. Especially the bit about it being FUN and only having TWO pics.

Bring it

Let’s jump in the arena ! lets be the first so I won't be depressed by competing treasures :shock:

An American Breezer Lightning emigrated in France

first year with V Brakes in the catalog so the cantilevers "ayatollahs" can't complain

built thanks to the help of French, English, German, Netherlands’, and US fellow retrobikers.
And the occasion to learn how to build a wheelset. So at my "advanced age", at least I managed that

Thanks to all. A true result of all over the world “retrobikers”


Hope you enjoy it

I'm weeping onto my keyboard with joy. That is an absolute beauty of a bike.

Game over for another month

I can just see people everywhere looking at that Lightning and thinking "oh well, maybe next month".

Very nice, classy bike.

It's not been up here before so here it is... my Dave Lloyd cats wiskas.

Photo's of this bike never do it justice - I keep promising to get better pictures but the truth is I'd rather be riding.

Lovely paint jobs on the Beezer and Dave Lloyd

This bike however lacks paint completely

1998 Dagger FS I'd been keeping an eye out for an Amp-based frame when I found this. Not the first brand that comes to mind but I remembered lusting after the MBA test bike BITD so I bought myself a project. I originally thought to replicate the MBA test bike but decided the 'factory' finish looked cool after stripping the paint. Full story here:

1995 Merlin Newsboy

Glad that “mid-range” month is now over.

This might support Bushpig’s claim last month that HIS Newsboy was “mid-range”.
