BoTM August 2013 - Nominations if you please

+1 for sandman's '36 Elgin, his Elgin's are such an inspiration if only my wife's '36 Mifa wasn't so flimsy..

Not read the BotM in quite some time.
Really nice to see build threads being linked to, means I get to read about a load of bikes that have passed me by.

Some damn fine bikes cropping up, some parts I don't like (them green tyres). Some cable routings, the wehite GT needs a white seatpost... But now idea why. It just does. Harry's built a Retrobike as well, gives me ideas for my son....
Mmm time to read some build threads before the next lot

Some lovely bike in this months entries.
Would like to submit Boscarn 1994 Jamis Aurora, there are more pics and info here; viewtopic.php?f=6&t=268137&p=2004530#p2004530

I rather like that Jamis. Nice clean build and a great looking frame. I know it is Tange cro-mo but what is the finish? Is it nickel plated or something? Whatever it is it looks very nice.

 

[Boscarn]

The frame finish is just a lacquer coat applied over the brushed steel, very simply but beautiful. I have done this to a few frames and the effect always draws a comment, I have also used coloured lacquer, this gives a stunning effect in the sunlight.
Have a look at my old GT Tequestra single speed.

The euphoria of just finishing this off has prompted me to enter my first ever BoTM

Dossa's 1990 Ridgeback 704XT

Another nice job there.
