Bike of The Month
Thanks Adrian. You and me both on the roller stem, one day, when the right combination of reach, rise and price that doesn't require the removal of bodily organs, comes along, it will happen. 😁

Ah, sod it.

Just so I can finally put the last nail in the "first build" coffin, here's mine...

pw_pw_la's FSX/JMC-inspired 1994 Specialized S-Works M2

Dirty, loved and well-used already!

Ridiculous, overly long build thread here: https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads...ized-s-works-m2-finished-pics-page-16.426559/

Skip directly HERE (and the following page) for more pics of the finished beast.

And now no one ever has to look at, or hear about it ever again!

Not sure if I even belong competing with all of you who do such wonderful jobs of restoring bikes I’ve rarely heard of yet alone seen. I am however proud of the journey I took with my first ever “high” end bike. I am still a nube when it comes to this hobby but I learn new things all the time. I know the tires on this bike are, well tired but they are original and I am struggling to source replacement that 1 I can afford and 2 that I can actually find lol.
Here it is the Watchman123’s 1989 Ritchey Ultra and the accompanying build thread found here https://www.bikeforums.net/classic-vintage/1207107-mid-80-s-ritchey-ultra-build-ser3009.html
