Cook bros definitely an interesting one, but the Brodie is epic

That is the choice which I can't make: a California made bike that lived the North Shore history, or a bike designed and made in BC to deal with that specific terrain. Can't decide, but I have a Brodie in the garage, probably will never even see a Cook. Do I go with imported exotica, or choose the home team? Also, don't even know what to think about the Mantis X, but I absolutely love it. Can't we just vote for three this time?

I really want to vote for that high end Dave hinde bike but cant bring myself to do it so I went for the Roberts as they are nice looking bikes in white...... Very classy looking rides

Got to be Dave Hinde for the rarity and the effort put into saving it.

Easily got to 3, but difficult to pick 1 from Brodie, Cook and Hinde...

 

[Tsundere]

There are three that pull at my heart strings, but only one that fills me with such all consuming envy that I'm left with no other choice but to vote for it.

I got two votes! I can’t believe it. The Brodie got my vote, Brodie does a lot besides build bicycles, he’s a preservationis, teaches fillet brazing and recreates reproduction motorcycles that no longer exist. Here is his 1919 Excelsior, no originals exist. He made the engine, casting, heads, cams, the whole shebang. That kind of talent deserves a vote.
