A fellow Townsend owner!!

I still say there should be a BOTM category up to a low price one month. Bet there's some really interesting survivors out there.

Late entry from me, just finished it last night

Glorious 1991 Trek 970 that I probably built and sold back in 1991 to the same very customer I bought it off last month 34yrs later!

Just finished restoring it yesterday, hot off the resto bike stand my build can be found here:

Definitely gets my vote, so much happening in that build aside from the lugs
