Hello all and welcome to the very late poll for April and now May RBotM. My apologies once again for being unable to get this kicked off earlier. Thanks for everyone's patience. There also seems to be some confusion about being able to enter a bike that has previously been entered. Any bike...

I am very sorry for my extreme tardiness with this months, (last Months) poll. Poll will go up tonight and all will be included. Jamie

Evening all, I have been very busy with work so have missed a lot of the excitement regarding rules and the like. Thankfully. They need to be there but generally we don't need to be quoting them. A few basics, You should enter a bike you own, IF the bike in question has previously won a BotM...

Welcome to RBotM April 2024 I am a bit late to get going this month as have been super busy at work this last few weeks and late in, and so time has just gotten away from me. So while we are late kicking off, I am sure there is more than enough lovely builds out there ready to enter this quick...

Some really nice machines coming onto this thread, a very diverse group but clearly everyone is enjoying them. Keep them coming! Jamie

Many congratulations as I am sure you will agree, on a worthy winner for Nabeaquams 1910 Miami Cycle. Very well done on another stunning machine. It was a super competitive month, any which of would be a worthy winner. great to see the vote count on a steady increase as well. Thank you to all...

Wow! Things are really quiet in Macretro land lately. I hope everyone is doing OK and managing to get a few rides in here and there. I spent Easter down in Aviemore visiting with family and friends who came up so we could all spend the weekend together. We had a big static caravan. It was a...

A weekend away south to Aviemore to meet up with family and friends from even further south spend some time together over the long weekend. We only really get to see each other once, maybe twice a year so it's always good. They are not bike people at all but seen as how this year we were meeting...

As long as it’s retro then a hybrid is fine 🙂

Peter, you could well be right and I too had been thinking the chain itself and not just the slightly proud joining link. I was thinking to replace the whole chain and not just the joiner, it doesn’t seem to be kinked or tight but it also just doesn’t look to sit ‘right’. I wonder whether the...

Yesterday was the first decent weather day when I hadn't been super busy so with a few hours to spare I decided to head out for a bit of leisurely riding on the Super Tourist. More of a test ride of sorts as I had been tinkering away here and there trying to sort some of the shifting issues I...

We are steaming ahead this month with a superb line up of contenders so far. I will also have to remind people that it’s one paragraph, basically a couple of lines to describe what you are entering, with a link to a build page etc with more information. Also, two photos only. Otherwise this...

Hello! Unfortunately it had been given away in the end from memory. Certainly no longer in my spares boxes. Very sorry. :) Jamie

That's a great buy for what looks to be an earlier Super Tourist. I personally wouldn't respray that, a very deep clean and then a good wax. Someone got a lovely ride for a great price. Jamie

A very beautiful place to ride and have only followed the road to the estate, not actually ventured up into the hills. Definitely will be now. Stunning photos and a really lovely new bike. Congratulations!
