Re:
Wow has there ever been a more "draw it out/attention getting" string of posts to pump up a bike for BOTM???
@TPC, I think what people are trying to tell you is that your entries have been nice. But Nick lets face it retrobike collecting has for the most part been a thing for the "small guy", that old cyclist, past shop hand/racer, many who are old enough to have ridden and raced in "the era". You on the other hand have a "corporate staff" of hunters and "wheel dealers" at you disposal. You see its a staff against the single guy with a job and a family. While you apologetically enter your bikes monthly it's to no ones surprise here that you never win. You could have the best bike and may have in the past. It's David against Goliath as many members here see it....so go on killing yourself with great builds if that's truly your passion and your main reason for doing it is not your corporate bottom line and drawing attention to profit from it. Lets face it, where else can you get such a captive global audience and potential clientele for the cost of your time on a keyboard? BOTM is not what it once was and your entries are a reason for that whether you believe that or not. While the statements been made that it's "about the bike"... that's not all true. So you can leave it in or take it out and play it later....it's like that classical custom cassette tape of golden oldies. For you all that really matters is that TPC is "out there" and you pockets full and unfortunately the vehicle you use to do that is old bikes whether you really enjoy them or not.

Hook, line, sinker.
