Well there's been lots of talking but not a lot of voting. Must be about that time?

Yeah, I wanna see how badly mine does compared to some of the lovely bikes featured

Well, it was going to be the Dynatech, and then that Top Gun came up. But then a super-sexy Raleigh Burner came out of nowhere and blew everything else out of the water.
Some very nice cycles this month, as ever. Well done to their builders for making them so fantastic.

there's legitimacy to Mike's though...original materials designed for the bike were used and the frame builder of choice....those tubes were designed and destined to be a C-26 they are just a tad aged. The only none original/aged material is the new glue used. It's not like some one copied body panels and had them pressed out in China or molded to look right. The auto comparison doesn't fit the bill.

Interesting debate well summerized by MrGM1230126. True the only non-retro part was the glue. I'm sure had Yeti continued developing it they'd have found a better glue before 199? (not starting that argument again )

And Tallpaul - hats off to you. Calling it as you see it.

Some great entries again. The Top Gun is quality and I'm sure that Raleigh Burner is getting the memory cells of many a British member working. It will be an interesting poll for sure. Good luck.

Wow, some of the modern spec'd tat that gets entered in BOTM (and even voted for! ) and the validity of Mike's entry is questioned...

second that
