Congrats @24pouces ! Got my vote from the moment it was posted :cool:
My second choice would have been the Zaskar of @SeeingisBelievingGTMuseum which I'm surprised to see didn't get more votes, but I suppose when us '90s fans get swayed to join the RB '80s fan base, it's inevitable I suppose :D
 
That Hanebrink SE Shocker is a really cool bike. I'm glad it won. This month was made for that bike.

 
Wow !
Happy to win that special BoTM where I discovered a lot of things in the mtb history with all the exchanges we got. Thanks to GrahamJohnWallace
and thanks for who voted to the Hanebrink.
firstly a thought ti Jeff Archer who was the previous owner of that bike.
Non 26” has ever won BoTM : my 1988 Cannondale SM600 and my 1986 Cannondale SM700, both with 24” rear wheel But a long time ago!

(I forgot : my name “24 Pouces” means “24 inches” in english)

I remembered this small-wheel, specialist off-road hill climb bike:

MTB Book 1984.jpg The above scan comes from Rob Van Der Plas' 1984 'The Mountain Bike book which was the first ever book to be published on the subject of mountain-bikes. The scan is taken from the chapter about wheels that also mentions my 1981 Range-Rider.

Be it smaller or larger than 26", the wheel-size-debate has been going on as long as mountain-bikes have existed.
