Yep the FRO is beautiful but something about that Blizzard has me putting it out front so far with so many great entries

oldave's 97 Kona Kilauea. No build thread, just bought as a CKD (complete knock down) kit. Just a working bike. But very nice!

Right then, I’ll guess I’ll give it a shot? Here’s my cannondale super v 900 from 1996. Like the second one above just a working bike though very nice to ride and I think it deserves it, there has been only one cannondale of the month, but I won’t be mean and vote for my own and I’ll vote for that chrome cannondale before this!

I hope everyone a good botm!

Disclaimer, this is not what the bike looks like now. The bike is now in pieces but will be getting a new life with some better stuff

The nomination for October BoTM is my 1995 Gary Fisher Cronus - finally restored earlier this month.

More info is posted in the MTB Readers bike section at https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/gary-fisher-cronus-1995.452843/#post-3315073.

It was a rather emotional journey to see this frame and fork making it through unexpected sickness, then a rescue out of a fiery inferno, and finally brought back to life and old glory, thanks to an awesome custom bike builder who stepped in. I am sure Gary Fisher himself would approve our decision to add a little Phoenix decal to his frame, indicative of the journey this bike has been on.
