98+ BotM theme suggestions

[Aech]

How about it actually has to be a bike rather than a showroom queen that never gets ridden and filthy ?

Yes I can appreciate a beautifully finished bike but I'd much rather see a bike being ridden than hung on a wall 'cos it's too precious to be used.

(I'm gonna put my flak jacket on now and hide behind the sofa until the dust settles )

Out at least twice a week and no helicopter tape

Helicopter tape is fine, but ridden. I can't see the point of an unridden bicycle.

What's helicopter tape?

What's helicopter tape?

A thick, tough and clear tape to protect paintwork.

Fine Rob, but if the helicopter tape looks pristine under microscopical conditions I'm putting my mangled foot down

When is the 98+ botm?
Theme decided on yet?

We’ll do one next month. Because they’re so infrequent we’ll probably just have an open competition.
