BoTM Bike of The Month December 2022 - now taking entries

[oldave]

Up to 1997

Up to and including 1997 I think. And referenced to model year, rather than build year?

Yeah

Just the frame age that matters to my understanding?

Well, sort of ... my Manomano e.g. is as the 1998 catalogue, so although frame no. indicates a 97 build date it is not eligible.

I’ll put my Merlin in the mix. As found photo and as it is now. No build thread here, sorry!

But if you do a non catalogue build to it, maybe should be?
