I think there was an "error" somewhere.
The theme of this months BOTM is "Restoration", I doubt many people will bear this in mind when voting and simply vote for the bike they like best, and this being a retro MTB forum it'll probably be the Koski. A great bike, but not the best "restoration" in my opinion.
The Elgin doesn't really count as a MTB in my book, although the work done to the frame is exemplary.
There are some fantastic entries this month though, I particularly like the 'Dale, and the Orbit is up there too, I would have voted for the Lobo but it's a later than '97 frame isn't it? shame that.
