BoTM Bike of The Month March 2024 - now taking entries

[Antwack]

I'm going with mine, No construction thread.

Salsa Alacarte 91

The frame was built being NOS and all its parts are NOS except the Merlin/salsa handlebar and the custom Bullseye cranks (stickers by @fguki) The rear Tioga Disk is Manufactured by me, so I do have construction thread on that.

These are pics from Sunday morning while I was testing the Tioga Disk.

Sorry @Dogsbolx94 but I've had to remove your entry, as it was already submitted in a previous standard month. You may enter it again in a relevant special month

Y'see this it what fascinates me. Three STUNNING frames, but each has something about the build that I don't like and "ruins" them for me! I'm not being snobbish or anything, just saying that it's wonderful how our tastes are all different.

3 fantastic bikes.

Spring is in the air

Silverfish 1990 Yeti FRO

Originally planned as the perfect bike to hang a pair of Rock Shox RS1 forks off - hence the pink details. But I just loved the clean white lines of the frame/fork/stem combo - absolutely how this bike has turned out.

Mix of NOS and well used parts, frame condition and original paint was great so wanted to use as many original parts as I could. Wheels and tyres are the very same that it rolled out of Bromley Bike with in 1990!

I’m not sure the photos do it justice, I was trying to be arty with the pink camellia in the background

Spankyfarts 1991 Terrarunner Carbolite.

Originally specced with DX, I upgraded most of the parts with NOS XT; Sharkfin/Headset/U-Brake and the rest with XT in VGC.
No buildthread, tried that twice and both frames were broken. So, you can imagine why I didn't.
Was going to upgrade to full XT, but I have other plans with the frame so this is what I was "stuck" on.
