I had never heard of Otis Guy until I joined this site.
The thing I love most about this place is that every day is a school day.
My horizons have been expanded ten-fold with what I've seen on here, and long may it continue.
Would you seriously prefer this to be a site full of mid range Saracens, Specialized and Konas?
BoTM is a rediculously hard thing to win now. I struck VERY lucky when I won...with a mass produced, made in Tawain, bike.
My win was at least 60% down to the fact I bothered to take decent pics of it, but it wouldn't get a vote now.
BoTM is supposed to be the best you can offer, presented in the best way you can.
I really don't see the issue?

I agree with most of this, but I can see where captain cosmic is coming from. Every BoTM recently has seen a host of people enter proper exotica, most of which has never graced the muddy shores of the UK. Now I also love to see these bikes. I really do, but just as with anything else, if it is the same old, same old all the time then it gets a bit boring, even if it is exotica. And that is where BoTM seems to be right now. I suppose even if you could have caviar and champagne every night eventually you would end up hankering for a pie and a pint!
It certainly is a question to ponder - what with it seemingly being of such importance. Perhaps only those that it's important for, vote...makster":3ahi300t said:And this is the beauty of it...we all get to place our votes on the one we like best.
The real issue with BoTM is why do so few of the people who browse this forum vote each month?

Much of these arguments on BOTM come from hubris that the views of individuals, are what they'd like to foist as the blueprint on the forum. And in fairness, there's hints of that in both / all sides of the debate.
