A quality field, I would like to ride every one of them. A tough choice still, even with less to choose from.

A small but perfectly formed field of entries this month. Was an easy choice for me though (makes a change). Best of luck to all.

I could easily vote for 3 or 4 of these, but one stands out as the pinnacle. If I had all seven, I could sell 6

I would have gone eith the Brodie, but it has flat pedals, so, the Ultimate gets my vote.

 

[MattiThundrrr]

It seems strange to me that you would prioritize the pedals over the frame, but as always, each has their own criteria. The one I voted for has the biggest, flattest pedals

I don't know if I should vote for the one I most want to ride, the one I most want to hang on my wall and look at, or the one that just make me smile out of nostalgia and was a labor of love. Someone tell me what to do. I can't decide.

Kona my pick , although a great bunch

Not so strange. I don't vote bikes I wouldn't ride as they are, and I'd never ride a bike without clipless pedals. Which does not mean mine should be the ultimate criteria to judge a bike. It's just personal.

Just popping out to the shed to put some clipless pedals on the Timberline.......
