December BoTM - Nominations If You Please

[jez-4-bikes-max]

My Goat build wasnt overly exciting - full Xtr m900 (cantis, gearing etc) and Manitou 1's up front. White Porcs were the only thing that probably were best suited for the garage.

I'll bung the kestrel CSX in, 1st image doesn't do the actual colour justice so I popped a close up o the paint on too

1983 Cleland Aventura/Highpath hybrid

1983 Cleland Aventura/Highpath hybrid
I would like to nominate this bike. Designed by Geoff Apps and made by Cleland Cycles near Aylesbury in 1983. It was restored and upgraded by David Wrath-Sharman of Highpath Engineering in 1988. That's why it bears the names of both companies.

See "Readers' Bikes" for more info...

:shock:

Now that Cleland/Highpath is an awesome machine. Never seen anything like that.

Will get my vote.

Hell...I'll vote for it.

mine again......dtermined to get more than 1 vote this time.....just thought ....vote 4 me or the green tyres go back on:

Sorry Gibble but 0 votes for you this time. You can't enter the same bike twice.

Just curious... If you change all parts is it still the same bike?
Or if you change frame

good point, another query to refer to the UN

Or how about the same bike, just a different owner? I'm sure I've seen a couple turn up under 'new management'. Time to call in Boutros Boutros Ghali I think

Isn't it an option maybe to have a time limit, that you can not enter the bike/frame for at least one year, accept for theme BOTM's?

my first build!!!! Klein Rascal with Campag gruppo, onza brakes, pauls levers and cooks cranks!!

be kind i love this bike!!!

Well, thats the first Klein I've seen that I actualy like, so could well be getting my vote!
Love the colour
The Kestral looks amazing too though.
I'm sorry to say that gibbleking won't be getting my vote, as that is about as far away from my idea of how a nice bike looks as you can get.
Looks like it needs road tax

Ahhh, dont be like that. Was only my opinion, which doesn't normally count for much.
Everyone has different tastes and mine is just for more simple builds. If I was the boss, then suspension would be banned
