So many nice bikes this month :shock: I'm not a huge Funk fan but I do like that Funk a lot :)

One day I'll build something worthy of B.O.T.M entry ;)
 
Well I found my Specialized (http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=24317) under my house, but this is what I found under my girlfriends house!!!

She'll even brake in the wet.

My girl loves it, she's had it under the house all her life, but she's never ever laid eyes on it before. Hillarious.

Will have a lot of fun restoring it. Bit of TLC should go a long way!
 
Haha,wow Silstar cranks. Used to have those on my first "mtb". Was a dutch citybike which I totally rebuilt to be an mtb. Got into my dads box of old racing parts and pimped it. Painted it in red yellow and black (LeMond copy). Loved that bike to bits. Even build the wheels myself. Steel 26" rims on old high flange racing hubs. Drilled holes in the top tube to have the rear brake cable go through the frame :cool: .
Cheap steel tubunig didn't handle the stress well though. Snapped after 2 seasons :cry: .
Yeah, those were the days.
