    A couple of days late, but I've been doing pretty well lately! Time to pick the final winner for 2023. Eleven to choose from and, just to clarify, the C-26 replica remains in; the fact that the rear triangle is original is what confirmed it's inclusion for me. Sherpamustache’s Yeti C-26 replica...
