BoTM Bike of The Month October 2022 - now taking entries

[raidan73]

A standard month this time so anything goes; well anything within the rules anyway. Next month is a special but I still need to decide what the theme will be. I'll take a look through the suggestions thread and pick a theme when I get a chance.

Useful for the poll if you can structure your nomination as follows:

username's Year Manufacturer Model , e.g. @al's 1995 weird bouncy thing
Image(s) MAXIMUM OF 2
Finally please include a link to your machine in the relevant Reader's Bikes section. If you don't have an existing post now is the time to add one with as much detail as you like!
Link to all the rules http://www.retrobike.co.uk/wiki/BoTM_Rules

Nominations thread will run for the entire month of October. Entries submitted after October 31st will not be counted. The poll will go up shortly after the nominations close and will run for a week.

On the basis that next months special isn’t “1994 Specialized Stumpjumpers”, I’ll start!

Have we ever considered being allowed 2 votes a month, a 1st & 2nd preference with the winner still the one with the most overall votes, or would it cause mayhem.
