BoTM Bike of The Month September 2023 - Nomination Thread

[mk one]

I’ll try with my Lavoie. Pretty sure I’ve not entered it before. Here’s the original thread for it, more How-I-Found-It than a build thread but it gives you an idea of how it started. It’s the sister bike to the ‘Need For Speed’ article from MBUK around 1990. Frame number 18 made by Maurice Lavoie.

Wasnt it Lavoie that were asked to fabricate the front triangles for G.T so they could bolt a chromoly subframe to 1990 Xizang....?

Wow, some great bikes this month! I'll throw my hat in the ring:
