Bike of The Month Dec 2013 *now NORMAL* - Nominations!

[theproscloset]

theproscloset's Missy Giove Yeti ARC ASLT

Everyone here already knows this bike and ridevintagemtb's extensive build. This bike has never been entered into the BoTM under ridevintagemtb's ownership. I'm posting this bike in honor of Mike's detailed build and hard work.

I was honored when Mike offered this bike up for sale to us this summer for our museum. Since the museum is primarily composed of vintage bikes with racing history, this bike was an obvious fit. His detailed restorations raise the bar and showcase not only his extensive knowledge of mountain bike racing's history but also his extensive relationships in the industry, that without, this restoration would never have been possible.

ridevintagemtb's original build thread can be viewed here: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=258421&hilit=missy+giove

Our thread with updated photos (video coming soon) can be viewed here: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=281389

Thank you Mike for giving us the opportunity to appreciate this bike everyday.

Great Purchase for your collection, and as always great level of detailed work from Mike (ridevintagemtb).

I guess this month the two pic rules gone out the window though. :roll:

I remember Missy Giove from bitd. Had a quick google and :shock: such a shame, clearly she doesn't do things by halves but she got off lightly....and a great bike, love the video too. Could be a movie script in there with her bike playing a future starring role

Love the Zinn too

Ideally the film would have a happier ending though.... :cry:

Oh Missy...

Makes me sad to see Nigella's current predicament too. "Let them eat, coke?"

It's sickening that somebody with that much talent and charisma wasn't given a well paid ambassadorial or commercial role in the industry and sport she so loved. Chewed up and spat out. Strangely that's something maybe the UK cares about more than the US. We look after out heros and champions quite well.

Dealers Users Pushers Importers, Drugs.....No place in cycling regardless. I didn't want to believe any of it. Gutted.
