Thank goodness there is a Klein in the mix. Now I can vote.
Awesome bike BTW. Takes me back to our owner's Adroit. Same bike really, color, components, etc. He spent soooo much $ on that thing.

Officially pulling my entry...the damn Tesch has a Shimano bottom bracket, oh the horror!

I'm going to park it in the back of the garage and sneer at it every time I walk by...never going to throw a leg over it's miserable secret-keeping frame again

Not sure why I even checked, just curious I guess. No way am I going to swap the bb just for this BOTM,
(but I'll probably do it eventually just because I liked the idea of having a non-Shimano ride, (even checked the chain and it was a gold old Sachs).


Either way it's out for this month's voting, (not that it had a chance against the Ritcheys/Ibis/Klein, etc)
...maybe I'll enter it again when we have a fillet brazed MTBs built by road bike builders who's last name DOESN'T start with "R"



cheers,

Steve

The Ritchey's great but the entry is breaking the two pic rule.

Quite right gm1230126 or may I call you 12 30 126? It's a little more catchy.

He's a cheat and should be flogged for is blatent attemp to bribe us all with his pretty pictures.

It makes me so angry!

I would enter mine again but I've got an XT shark fin. I'm half tempted to remove it just for this month but would that be cheating?!?!
