BoTM Bike of The Month September 2024 - now taking entries

Bike of The Month
Hoping that I can add pics of my first retro build! Such a recent completion means that I have no build thread, that will come. I’m just chuffed to have completed and literally brought back from the dead a 16” GT RTS frame…enjoy.

the photos were taken in the only spot with natural light in the bunker😁
the first time I participate and I followed the rules a little bit🧐 even though I miss the link in the Reader's Bikes section🫶
 
ONE of the above is a lovely example of the first mtb that I bought (2nd hand and filthy, I started later and older than most RBers!). I've been watching for one for many years....
