hers my nomination

Biglev's Breezer mk1 replica 2013 (faux 1976/7)

It stirred my heart when I saw it on here on a thread and I spend the next 2 years researching, finding parts, building components and making the frame. Loads of toil has gone into this mainly for my own enjoyment and she rides well so not a wall hanger.

Oof! Stunning. Probably best you got that in early: it's going to be a hard month for the rest in my eyes.

Shall we stop there, then?

Pointless anyone trying now me thinks,

crowned forks, cow horns and brooks saddles are not everyone's bag.

I am sure a nice Trimble, Ritchey, Mantis, Yates, Roberts, Lloyd, Yeti, Kestrel, Klein, Titan, Alpine star, Overbury, Highpath, Cunningham to name but a few could all trump that with ease. I have epically failed over the last 6 years to win this again so I know any nicely turned our bike can with this. I don't mind who wins as look and there are some nice bikes on show. So show us you metal (or carbon)....well as long as i don't come last again :¬)

Isn't this just a modern bike shaped like a vintage one?

think they are over here in the UK :roll: They are put together well, and seem to look awesome with all the mid 90 trick bits, i remember seeing a review of a Dagger on test in MBA 05-96 and that was fully tracked out as well
