BoTM Bike of The Month August 2024 "USA Special" - now taking entries

[Vesatoro]

As she has not been entered into special month before (I think), what would be more beautiful example of 90's Made in the USA frame than the 2.8 Series painted with triple fade. Even the fly loves it.

Wait till I enter my GT Timberline with classic Billy Bonkers!

@PhillB Surely your American built American is perfect for this month? x Don’t tell me they made them in Taiwan???

As it's a USA special - and the Serotta Pro-flex isn't ready yet, I'd like to enter my 1990 Klein Attitude Dolomite/ Team USA.
I've checked back and it's only been entered in the July 2021 BOTM.

Silverfish 1993 Manitou FS

It wouldn't be an American month without a Manitou FS thrown into the mix!

Bonkers expensive BITD but also so so cool. They actually rode phenomenally well, one of the best of the early design FS mountain bikes and crazy light considering the travel. Which is why not many of them have stood the test of time - Manitou FS bikes were pretty prone to cracking. I think they probably built them a little too light...

Here is one of the few that didn't crack
