BoTM BotM November 2021 - Non 26" wheels special (26"/24" combo permitted)

Bike of The Month
I hate it when I open up a can of worms with a themed month🤦‍♂️ though discussion is always good. There's always going to be a grey area I suppose. I'm hoping to see a Cannondale or two, maybe an Ibis, Fat, Topanga, Cleland, GT Tachyon etc
I would enter my Cleland but it's already been entered to a special month in 2012 I think, so is ineligible. Hopefully someone else has one they could enter. Maybe @GrahamJohnWallace has one lurking in a shed somewhere? ;)
 
I really didn't think that this is a bike I would ever enter. I never thought I would enter a bike 2 months in a row. Anyway here is my old 650b/27.5 Raleigh.

Lhatch4's 1985/86 Raleigh Mountain Tour Grand Mesa.

Small wheeled bikes for short legged kids. My oldest son (14 yo) is a big fan of my vintage Scott mountainbikes but due to an unfortunate twist of Nature (he has Down Syndrome), riding one is out of his reach (like most of the people with DS, he has relatively shorter limbs). Seeing his younger brother riding one of my bikes frustrated him so much, I didn't hesitate when this one popped up on the Bay. Took some time and lots of TLC to rebuild it, but it's been worth every hour and euro I spent on it.

Here's Beau VDD's 1991 Scott Junior Team.

That's a really cute bike!
;)
 
Where are all the early 90's Alpinestars, Marin or Diamond Back 700c bikes? More hybrid than MTB but wore the same paint jobs.
