BoTM BotM October 2021 - The Vote

[Lhatch4]

Spectacular month. I wonder what November will bring.

@Peachy!

Awww.

Anyway, curious to see how this month's vote turns out. Feels like there's no obvious runaway victor and a really good mix of rides.

I'm voting for someone else anyway! Lol.

Or not voting at all.

Seems weird to vote when you're in the mix!

Do others vote on months they're competing in? What's the standard etiquette there?

Anyway, I can't tell you all how happy this new/old hobby has made me, during a difficult couple of years (for everyone). It wouldn't be an understatement to say that in many ways it's totally transformed my life. And definitely destroyed my savings account!

Cheers to each and every one of you for the advice, wisdom, inspiration, s**t talking and banter.

@pw_pw_la every vote counts… people threw themselves under the King’s bike to earn the right to vote!


(Ps I’ve no shame in voting for my own entry)

Yeah have vote, that’s the whole idea…. some even exercise self-serving bias!!

So many later 90s suspension bikes being entered in recent months.

Is this due to new members joining...? tastes changing...? members joining that are younger...?

 

[pw_pw_la]

Probably.

Early 90s rigid up next tho!

I noticed that - quite an eclectic mix though which is good!

Yeah my thoughts too - 4 full suspension models this month (including one of my own), which is unusual.
A pro and con of an open month is the sheer spectrum of variety that can be covered.

Good luck all - I can’t predict a winner.

Oh man I want all these bikes, do I have a problem?
I have really found true pleasure in taking a bike that is essentially left for dead and restoring into something that one would be proud to own. I don’t have the depth of knowledge required to reach the levels of some of the builds seen here but am enjoying the process and love seeing some of these beautiful builds

what a tough month to pick only one out of all that great bikes
