Yep, agreed - difficult choice being faced with so much variety after K-F-Y last month. It's either Roberts, Formula or Mantis for me...

Wow, nice work on that cable hanger - ingenious. Look forward to the finished result, will be good to see another Graffiti zipping around.

Some nice photography this month. The Roberts looks excellent against the lavender and the backdrop of the first Raleigh USA looks like a painting. It helps that both are awesome bikes of course - both being contenders for me this month. If I could choose to own one the Roberts would just pip it...

Re: The O.C. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Obviously opinion varies wildly on this but personally I think 2 grand is a nice solid amount to splash on a top end 'treat-yourself' retrobike. If you're thinking of a Klein though its worth noting the massive difference in price between a Pinnacle/Rascal and the Attitude. You could pick up...

Haha classic - I know that one all too well! I was cycling up a biggish hill in Leeds on the way back from work when this younger kid clearly took it upon himself to race me up. There was no way I was going to let this cheeky sod get away with that one so I picked him off and pulled away from...

This is going back a few years when I was insanely fit but I did burn up an entire road racing club out on their team ride once (I think they even had matching socks on!) AND I was on my full susser with fat tyres on! One of the fondest memories I've ever had on a bike! And thanks Rampage -...

Rear mech is a 9spd SRAM X9 - my absolute favourite of all time which has a plastic cage! I could never see the point of spending £100 on the carbon caged version when your rear mech is essentially the most vulnerable component on your bike. And yeah, it often brings a smile on my face when I...

OK, maybe this doesn't qualify for full on butchery but it used to look a hell of alot smarter than this! It's my ex-nickel plated P7 that I've deliberately uglified. I live in London sometimes and I wanted a quality bike with Mavics, Deore, XTR, Race Face etc that would stand up to proper...

On a more serious note the Ritchey's got my vote so far :D

Classic!! I maybe shouldn't admit this but I used to have a Saturday job at Halfords as a teenager and built up many a Raleigh Activator. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever expect to see one with XTR bits on it!! In fairness to Raleigh, I never experienced a customer bringing one back with...

Damn you Trailhead! :wink: I thought I was going to make it to voting time without you splitting the Raw Anu Pinnacle vote :lol: Hehe - seriously your bike looks ace - but obviously I'm gonna say that seeing how similar it is to mine! That's three silver Pinnacles this month then - you wait all...

...yeah, nice - like the way the fluro paint is reflecting in the ice!

:shock: Remember getting excited just having seen a black and white photo of one of these how ever many years ago it was - think it was in the Mountain Biker Buyers Guide. Now I see it's actually in my favourite colour!!! Agree with many on this thread: My BOTY for 2013 and we're not even there...

...no motor transport for me I'm afraid.... Llangollen is as far West as I can get in Wales as I live on a boat 8) but that whole area around Coed y Brenin / Gwydyr Forests looks awesome and Bala Lake looks reachable by bike. I'm going to have to practice saying these place names before I...

Agreed! - Never found it so hard to pick one bike from a BOTM field but this has been hovering at the top of my shortlist all month so far. Looks incredible, I want to ride the sh*t out of it, brings back memories of being a wide-eyed teenager and the quality of the photograph is amazing :D

Thanks Humanoid - it looks wicked. Would never have imagined it was man made. I'm expecting to relocate to Llangollen next year - not in range of Machynlleth unfortunately but I'm hoping to find some good stuff when I get there :)

Hehe, forgive my English prejudice :lol: You've just reminded me of last Summer which I spent in the Avon Valley in the West Country - I'm not usually one to be put off by a spot of rain but it was so wet it rendered alot of awesome trails literally unridable for much of the Summer. The woodland...

Where is this?!?! It looks like a beauty! Love trails like this - if you were to look to your left as you're decending it would feel like you're flying... And yep, Arthur's Seat is ace - not the kind of place that's so wild you can get lost but it's literally five minutes from the city centre...

At the top! ...of Arthur's Seat. I often travel to Scotland to work for an Edinburgh based company. I make sure I take my wheels along because this steep rocky trail is the perfect wind down after a day stuck in the office - not to mention the 360' view you get from the top!
