BoTM Bike of The Month June 2024 - now taking entries

[KayOs]

Since it was finished last week and I love the colour, I'll throw something from Germany into the ring.

@KayOs' 1991 Centurion Elevator




Unfortunately I haven't had a chance to take a nice photo in the forest due to the weather and time.

 

[Silverfish]

Silverfish 1992 Mountain Cycle San Andreas

Hopefully I’ve done justice to the legend the maker and the legend the machine

Mostly original everything, frame and fork were in fab condition, just loaded it with a smattering of NOS parts, polished everything and rebuilt the fork.

Silverfish 1992 Mountain Cycle San Andreas

This one has been gathering dust in the warehouse for far too long 😳 The San Andreas is probably my favourite bike of all time. I’ve owned various different versions of Mountain Cycle and San Andreas bikes over the years but never an early San Andreas. Saw loads of these in California BITD and...

Haven’t entered a bike in a while and this is looking to be a strong month, but I’ll throw my hat in the ring regardless! One of my childhood dream bikes, built with the help of countless people on here.

That San Andreas is perfect one of a couple of bikes on my unicorn list and would definitely get my vote any other month, but, god damn the Formula 1 is stunning!

Why not start. I just added some bling today, seems like a good reason - 95 Rocky Mountain Thin Air.

1995 Rocky Mountain Thin Air

So I have this bike friend, he lives in the middle of nowhere, in a very small town where the Rocky Mountains meet the Alberta Prairie. We trade texts semi-often when he gets something he doesn't know about, or if there's something I might be interested in. He just likes working on bikes, he...
