Bike of The Year 2009 - THE BIG VOTE

[LeeDevelopment]

Hmmmm, this was a difficult one... torn between the C26, Manitou FS, Serotta and the Raleigh. I voted for the C-26 as it has such an amazing story behind it and it's such an icon of a frame and the company.

All great bikes but it has to be Defiant's Serotta for me

 

[Woody]

A very very difficult choice!! My special three are Mark's Raleigh , Bas's TiMax and Hairstreams Yeti Ultimate .....confused now :?

 

[REKIBorter]

Marks Raleigh got my vote, looks like the only bike listed that actually gets ridden.

to this:

I'm tossing up between a C26, a Mantis and a Raleigh. The Yeti for the work involved, the Mantis because of the attention to detail and the Raleigh for being a UK icon. None of the others are close (obviously except mine! )

Being in Nottingham, only one contender really - the Dyna! Plus I've had a couple basically the same and they ride as neat and as nice as they look.

Serotta a very close second.

TBH, while all are interesting, most I have no particular wish to own.

Personally i like the current setup better then the one in the vote picture, without the Onza's,..it now looks like this, i use this frequently and the ride is great
