Very difficult. The Potts gets my vote because, in case of tie, SPD equipped bikes are preferrable in my book.

DOGS BOLX for me, it's the one I'd most enjoy riding the sh^t out of.

So many great bikes with stunning builds and attention to detail - but one clear winner for me that I would love to own and get out onto the trails.

I can’t be doing flat pedals without clips either (clipless preferred)…assumed I was the only one left! How do you get the whole pedal stroke working?!

 

[Once A Hero]

Agreed

Agreed also. Flat pedals are for beach cruisers
RTS for me

+1 here toe clips only, don't do clipless.

On the other hand SPDs or flats here, toe-clips are the spawn of Satan and belong in the bin!

Still can't quite choose, down to Bolx, Potts, Fisher or Lightning. Hmmm?
