Some lovely Saracens there got to have a real good looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong think about this :?:

 

[kaiser]

Lots of nice bikes but its come down to photography and detail so DSP's for me (it was the red valve caps)

 

[tintin40]

Some very well kept mtb's

I think Corduroyboy's 1993 Kili XTR Elite is probably the best bike in the poll, but that photo is awful (sorry).

Drystonepaul's Kili is lovely and probably will be a deserved winner, but for me it has to be the Trekker Hydrotech; I spent so much time lusting after the one in my lbs that it still holds a special place in my affections and brings back lots of happy memories.

keitholy's Tufftrax, my old bike, love it to bits.

Classic and original, right down to the original reflector set, pedals and saddle (which aren't in the pic, but Keith does indeed have them).

A stunning example.

Heathy's 1989 Kili Flyer for me

Not sure why, but half the pic don't work for me.
