Right @Peachy! and @pw_pw_la, I've updated the OP with the links to the build threads. What a pain in the ass that was!

You are wonderful, wonderful man

Legend!

Thank you @raidan73

And hey, don't be mad, it might help you win a trophy!

It's not like you're not in the running...

Also, it helped confirm my own choice. Two of my contenders don't have build threads, so that easily removed them from the running in my mind! You have to a reason to be ruthless with bikes the standard of these 12!

Fantastic line-up of bikes. An easy choice for me though -that Merlin is perhaps the nicest bike I’ve ever seen. Absolutely love it.

Couldn't agree more.

Wow, this is a really difficult line up .
Been having commitment issues with my vote .
It's taken a few days of back and forth with loads of indecision.
Finally narrowed it down to 2 and ready to hit the button eventually

Bonkers list of bikes. All amazing in their own right. No idea what I'm going to vote for and lost count on the amount of times I keep running through the list!

Geeze … 2021 was a great year … in vintage MTBs. Suspect outside of that, but bikes wise … excellent

I’m cool with any of those bikes as the winner. I bet it comes down to a vote or two … as it should.

My vote went to the one I spent the most time obsessing over like a lunatic.

I would have given my vote to the Merlin, but I never vote bikes with flat pedals... So I had to go with that gorgeous Toad...

Done, I feel dirty and betrayal to the others but justified in my choice......I think hahahahaha

All deserved tbh
