All good fun and in good jest Nic. No worries about that, although to be fair, taking a burn from Captain “inbred Neanderthal” Cowelly on evolutionary matters is pretty soul destroying judging from his Facebook page…..

I've had this a while and it's had a few different builds, I think it's the only one I haven't entered yet apart from my latest Bontrager. So why not.
Benjabbi's 1994 Kona Explosif.

Thanks it's a lovely little bike and was the one I lusted after as a teenager, definitely a keeper!

Well, my feet can’t touch the pedals any longer but that’s irrelevant I think when it comes to your picture.

Thought it was the bike that gets judged, not the body attributes of the theoretical rider.

Hopefully I can count on your vote now Nic.
