BoTM Bike of The Month December 2024, now taking entries

[jimi911]

Ok; thanks. I think I've proposed it here because somebody told me it was the right place. Do you think I can keep my "votes"/reaction if I post on the other group. it's quite late to change....

The voting hasn’t happened yet.

Just managed to sneak this one in under the Christmas tree. I’ve always felt the red and white had a bit of a Yuletide vibe so a December entry feels right. I’ve even staged it under the festive lights in the spirit of the season. The build thread has been a while in the making but is available if I can manage to link it.

Just in time for an end of year build to add to the last BOTM of the year. Massive thank you to @gil_m for the decals that arrived whilst I was away for Christmas. The perfect finish to a 2yr long project....apart from a test ride, it's finally done.

Great job on the bike Kevin, appreciate the attention to detail on the decals. This month is slowly becoming an unofficial Canadian theme month.

I was thinking of rushing my Mountain Klein to get it entered but you've just saved me a job

Hi @Phil2B. Loving your Breezer replica but sadly it won't be eligible for the competition. I did have to read through a few older competitions to confirm the decision; another Breezer replica did make it through, back in May 2023, but that was in a "tributes" special competition. A Yeti C-26 replica made the cut in another competition but this one had utilised the rear triangle from a vintage Yeti FRO. You can of course enter the next 98+ competition and we may run another tributes special in the future here.

Hi Raidan73. Ok. No problem. After some member wrote that the right place of my JBX1 Rep should be in the category "98 +", I think I've posted it in the other category. May be I made a mistake? Or BotM for december is just for mtb before 98? Thanks. Have a nice evening

This section is all for 1997 and earlier. The 1998 and newer section isn't running a competition for December
