rBoTM October 2025 - Autumn Theme Month - All Welcome! Enter Now!!!!!!

[Jamiedyer]

Welcome to RBotM October 2025 - Autumn
After the success of last month we are running a very broad theme - Autumn - and so hoping we will have another strong field of superb rides basking in the autumnal glory. So it is a broad brush with this one but it is open to your own interpretation, but remember if it doesn't have any relation to autumn then it likely wont get any votes, so please describe the photos link.
So dig out your other rides and get them entered.

Usual rules apply in a couple of sentences description, a link to a readers ride page or webpage etc and two photos.
Remember to get the bill payers permission before entering

Every year, as the leaves start to fall, my old Orbea Arama Travel gets a full strip down and prep for winter.
I've toured Europe, on and off road on this bike over the last couple of decades, done chaingangs, trained on it and commuted to work. I've re-rivnutted all the bosses on the frame at least once, and rattle-canned it black (when I used to have to lock it in central London). It just keeps trucking. This summer i rode from Lewes to Geneva and back, including the Furka and Oberalp passes - fast enough on the ups and composed on the downs.
I paid £150 for the frame and fork secondhand from a clubmate in the Dulwich Paragon. Best money i ever spent. I'm not very sentimental about my bikes but I would be upset if something happened to this one.
I don't have a build thread for it and it's maybe too ugly to be a contender, but it is the bike that defines Autumn for me.
