Its funny, a muddy fox would have normally got loadsa votes too, just how it goes sometimes

PS...Nice white tyres on that..... be good riders on my zinn
 
The Brodie is all time. A perfect bike.

I’m still shocked the Cooks didn’t take it tho, given the history of the bike and owner.

Still, close contest this month. And if I’m correct there’s a tie for second place which means two bridesmaids for Peachy’s end of year poll!
 
@pw_pw_la you didn’t notice Martin’s Mantis pipped those two
 
Wow, I'm quite honored (and a bit shocked) to have gotten voted as BoTM alongside this group of bikes. Thank you for the votes. It's been awesome to have had this site as a resource over the years and joining recently has also been great - I really enjoy the discourse between members and the constant inspiration from looking at what others get up to. :)

Whoops.

Well, Martin doesn’t need any second place trophies. Not with that collection of his! I’m
sure just casting an eye around his work stand(s) is enough to help ease the pain of such a brutal loss! ; ) I say the other two get bumped up come year’s end!
 
Congrats @Ryry_1985 ! Your Brodie is an "Ultra" Stunner !
All the rest of the bikes this month are top notch and I am amazed at the number of votes I received on my old beast with this
level of competition.
Thanks All !
 
For me the Cook just seemed to epitomize everything we love about these bikes, not only is it extremely rare and beautiful, but it came here with the original owner and a great back story going all the way back to the origins of the sport. Congrats to the winner - a stunning bike, and unlucky to the others, you just picked a particularly bad month to enter.

Some tough competition this month with some great bikes , quite a few would have been worthy winners in a normal month , a deserved win for the brodie, and the cooks is also very special , I have to be pleased with joint 3rd place
