Blumin eck good start- I'm stuck already!

Exactly what I was going to say. Will be tough to decide this month I think.

1989 Raleigh Avanti Sporting a 531 frame & forks from lightweight division and a full XT11 Groupset, totally original even down the the Timbuk11's

Will second that RobMac.

Totally brings me back to 89/90 when racing.It almost seemed like everybody had an explosive aswell as Marins,Saracens and Offroads.

Lovely bike mate.

Going to throw this into the ring..

1988 Mt tam..

Si,

I love this one! But it needs better pictures. It is so much better looking than these pics shows! :cry:

Cool! I love the 80's

I have another 84 Fat that is almost ready for public, different from the black 84 I entered before- that one has moved on.
But since this is a special month, I have always wanted my 88 Wicked Fat to get another crack at the botm comp since I've made a few improvements, all period correct. It got 12 votes during a normal month, with it's first build. let's see if it does better this time around, though competition is even tougher now.

and this is its thread:

Thought this was going to be an average BOTM - but the bar has been set sky high already. Loving every bike so far!

1988 Jamis Dakota Competition (build thread here... http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewto ... mis+dakota)

I couldn't decide which 88' Dakota to enter but the double U-brakes won out in the end

By the way, that Mt Tam is one of the nicest bikes I've ever seen having seen it in the 'flesh' at Mayhem last year. Gets my vote so far
