"Munter" - I meant it in a good way.

plenty of orange love here too, but i'll vote the nuke proof! what a special bike!

I nominate Lou74's Funk. Full of character, plenty of patina and history - Mike Burrows did the carbon fibre repairs.

fine by me! maybe it should be up for most used/abused/broken/repaired/(ab)used again bike ever rather than botm. from what mike was saying at the lbs few weeks back, after getting over seeing it again after 18 years, was it was actually 1 of the lads that worked for him bitd that did the repairs who now works for giant, repairing pro road frames apparently.
other interesting points to note, was a courier hack for a bit & won a race!
now mainly road hack with slicks for dailyish 10 mile thrash.

Was that Andy Peggs FUNK?

 

[MikeD]

I believe so. Amazing it's still going, given that it already looked pretty much like that 18 years ago ;-)

I'll give the Dekerf another airing. Not 100% period correct but life ain't perfect.
