BoTM April 2021 nominations now invited

[boy"O"boy]

Look like me and Peachy have both had a trip back to '89!

Well, seeing Peachy and Jimi911 have both entered and it seemed like every month I entered last year, these guys were both in....I might as well join the party too!

Here's my 1989 Specialized Stumpjumper Comp as my entry.

As soon as I saw this finished I had a sinking feeling.... I'll get me coat!

 

[Once A Hero]

I only ever seem to enter when Peachy!, Jimi911 and boy"O"boy have entered - so I'd better wrap the latest build-up in the next few days it seems

thought i might be up there this month but then the ritchey, mantis and trimble turn up!!

ooo oooh …. look at those IRD forks!!!! And the polished ti…. drool now drenching the table.....that's The One....

And the thing is, I raced on one of those. The ride is sublime, the top tube a sensibly long length and the weight...oh the weight. Or lack of it.

you suggested the IRD forks right at the beginning of the build so I went the whole hog and got brakes and post too!!

That's probably the highest concentration of original IRD in one place since they were in the factory together … IRD seems thinly distributed over the world.....
