Hi Tommy I am really sorry for such a late reply. This is one of Normans later built frames. After the works closed officially. It did take a while to try and find a frame number on it. When we did find what was a number, it was quite curious as it would have made it a 1940's if read right...

Yes, a huge congratulations to Nabequam and his beautiful 1936 BSA, stunning build and a very worthy winner of RBotY 2023! The people have spoken! Thanks to all who have entered over the year, who have joined in the discussions and banter and also to those who have voted. All have...

No Idea, I have done it several times and it shows up fine but when I log back in it's the same. I will go and upload them all to Flickr and then redo the images that way. Thanks for letting me know it's just not my computer. Jamie

At the moment Mercian had a 40% off sale for frames etc, so maybe just check if that included renovations. From memory it did, but it was only a short window. Jamie

The last couple of days has been quite snowy here. Lots of snow lying, which is good fun for the dog and our playing in the fields but can be a pain getting into work in the morning. Usually once out our quiet road and up to the main road into Thurso it is plowed and gritted. Last night we had...

Many congratulations to Nabeaquam on a fantastic win. Deservedly so even amongst such strong competition. Very well done sir! And as Nob says, black and gold is always a good start. Foreigner, we do have themed months, every second month we try to have a theme and a 1930’s one hasn’t been done...

Well back to the start of another year and I must admit I am off to a late start with my Jack Taylor, or any of my road bikes. The weather has been so abysmal since New Years last week that I had one mtb ride so far. I managed out yesterday, Sunday, on the Super Clubman as it was the first...

No, I would not sell yourself or your entry short by any stretch. Among equals would be my description. Jamie

Welcome to RBotm December 2023 - Open Month Poll What a great selection of entries to choose from to close out the competition for 2023, each and every one a worthy winner. Some tough personal choices to be made as we all only get one vote. Thank you very much to all who entered, joined in the...

Happy belated Christmas guys, hope you all had a great day. We certainly did up this way. I have been working this week for the three days but then I have two weeks off!!! Need to ride desperately as that two weeks ends with the Strathpuffer. My last one. I have sworn I will not listen to...

Very nicely built frame and especially liking that seat tube lug :) Jamie

Yes, even I might have to put the 1930's BSA Gold Vase together. Need to find some proper 26" wheels/rims 🤔 Nabeaquam has reignited my enthusiasm for getting this together after seeing his lovely Gold Medal. I have had this frame and fork for a long time, it was a gift from my great pal Brian...

To be fair, there are a lot of US members on here, so while may be expensive to ship and import to the UK, this may be a fair price for these in the US. Now to the crux, the rules state that comments on pricing if you are not interested in buying should be kept to a bare minimum, if made at...

Hi ag124 In these instances where the item was listed for sale a fair while back, in this case about 8 months or so, it would be better to private message the original seller rather than bumping it back to the top of the for sale page, where they will all want it all over again ;) Good luck...

Due to being 'floaty' with the rules recently and causing some unrest because of it, I feel I must point this one out to all, especially Foreigner this month. Rule 12 states 'One bike per user per month - don't be greedy.' So, and personally I think this is a good thing, pick your best out...

Due to not meeting the regulations as highlighted by several members due to age and a previous competition the Battaglin has now been withdrawn/excluded from the results making a 3 way tie for the winner. So in joint first place is: Ullswater and his King of Mercia Jesper and his Chesini...

Ok. I have been away over the weekend and then into work this morning without seeing how this has developed. All results are currently provisional until I can sort this. I did not see the objections being as strong as they are. Jamie
