Thanks for the replies, really helpful. So for now we will run as is and seen as how there is only this months and December to go we will run these months regardless how many entries, my own opinion is that those who enter shouldn’t be penalised by those who don’t. Though I do hear what people...

Hi all Good to see a bit of discourse or discussion over the competition. This has been an issue a few times over the last few years. It has also been the reason where in the past couple of years the competition has skipped the odd month, maybe it looked a bit random or as though it had been...

No, in the interest of impartiality my photos are just there each month to illustrate the thread. To kick it off type thing. :) Jamie

Really nice example. Look forward to watching it come together for you. Let me know when you're heading out to Aultbea, we ride out that way often so could meet up or maybe coincide a retro touring weekend. All the best Jamie

Welcome to RBotM November 2023 This month is a theme month with the theme being.........Frame Month! So dig out those frames you have been getting ready for that winter build, or summer depending where you are, grab the one you are trying to get finished so you can get that one ride before the...

Welcome to the poll for RBotM October 2023 Not too many entries this month, though high on quality and style, so once again some hard decisions to be made. Thanks to all who entered and best of luck. Usual rules of one vote per member with results hidden until the end of the five day poll...

Hi Peter, apologies as I missed this post. The levers actually work really well and were great on the loose surface roads, meant I could keep my hands on the tops. With the cantis they have really nice feel and are very progressive. I too had only ever seen Weinmanns and when I initially seen...

Hi TeeCee Brian, myself and young Caleb will be out somewhere, Brian is just sorting whether he is coming up here or we will head down his way. I think the Highland Fatbike Group will have something on so we might also end up with them at some point. Hopefully you will get some company as well...

Well I did manage to get down to Brians on the Tuesday and it was a glorious day. Very glad I did too as we all know how the week ended. So for my two weeks off work I managed 3 days that weren't raining or gale force winds. They were utilised for riding and the other days I was very...

Yes, another fine win with a very lovely build. Many congratulations! Thanks also to all who entered, joined in the banter and generally supported the competition, much appreciated. Jamie

Welcome to RBotM October 2023 Due to the lateness of getting the poll up for last month, this one is going to be a short month but that just means you have to be quick to enter. Another open month, open to all so please dig out that classic gathering dust in the shed, your current build that you...

Welcome to the poll for RBotM September 2023 Apologies for the lateness of this poll as I was planning to get this back to monthly, which we will as we have had quite a bit of interest over the summer so hoping to keep it going. Another tough month with some hard choices to be made. Thank you to...

Hi TC Hope you are gearing up for the winter as I think it has already poked its head around the corner up here. Well I finally did it, after the 11 or 12 years being solely singlespeed I finally mounted the XT derailleur and a 12/34 cassette to the Pugs and took it out into the flow country...

Great Photos Clubby and brings back memories from that epic Macretro ride we had there :) Sackoohrah, Looks a nice day for it and a bit better than it's been up this way lately. Whereabouts is that? For me, well the last week has been rubbish up this way, gale force winds, rain and as can be...

Just what I may need, another lovely Jack Taylor 😂 Jamie

I just use my Iphone 12 mini. See some nice scenery, pull it out the jersey pocket, point and click. Jamie

Yesterday I did some maintenance on the recent incomer to the fleet, the Jack Taylor Super Tourist. Then of course I had to get a test ride in to make sure all was good. ;) While the bike had less than 20 miles on it when I bought it, the grease was good when built or even first sold but that...

Thanks mate. I am loving it, really am and even working on it yesterday was a pleasure. Buying a complete bike and one of this level is usually not something I can do so I am very grateful for it. And while technically the second owner it is for all intents a brand new bike, and it feels it...

That is a fantastic photo as usual Roy. Really likeing the red and orange Ritchey :) Yesterday I did some maintenance on the recent incomer to the fleet, the Jack Taylor Super Tourist. Then of course I had to get a test ride in to make sure all was good. ;) While the bike had less than 20...
