BoTM Bike of The Month November 2024 "European Special" now taking entries

[24pouces]

My 1989-1990 Sunn Mountain, weld in Bagnères de Bigorre in the Pyrénées.
Quite full french built with Mavic groupo and parts, CLB brakes… but swiss handlebar and Italian saddle for being a bit European

AdeC's 1994 Sintesi Bromont





I bought this from Bikepro in Kings Heath, Birmingham way back in the day. Still sees some action on the occasional dry day. Happy to make up the numbers, just like it's racing days!

synlos' Nöll M5 from 1996. Building here, it went through some chances. From M900 to TC M950. MT brakes system, now. And and and

2019:

Now in action:

Lil addendum. It had some german parts on it and still has. Like the Pulcro fork or the custom FB-welded stem. Bees headset and hubs on early DT Swiss rims. Group is 95x. With MT linear pull brake-set. Also the Hexlight post is mounted.

What's boxed: The cranks+BB, both Pulcro. It has a special 6-pack connection like Tune. The bb need a big overhaul, thats why it's dismounted...

So, some german custom parts on it. It was a goal to take as many parts from Germany on here.

Come on! Someone must have a mid 90s Scapin that they will be willing to through in the battle. Such nice bikes!

yes I do have a 1994 Scapin frame with custom paint and made of Dedacciai 18 MCDV6 HT tubing, a restomod bike with XT 780 T group and Mavic XM 819 tubeless rims
