and the PACE, that just looks funny in a small size.
and ....

Good job it’s a size Medium then ;-)

There's no way that can be a 19" frame?

That's got to be the 17" (small, tiny, minute) or a custom size...

It is a nice wall.
But
FireMountain95’s 1993 Raleigh Torus XT Titanium has the best van, skip, scaffolding, to draw your eye away from the bike.
Surely it must be a contender for that?

None of these deserve to be bridesmaids. They shouldn't even be serving the buffet.

Not ONE has all the rules applied for photographing a bike; either the cranks are in the wrong position, valves aren't at (6 or 12) o clock, tyre logs aren't aligned, pedals aren't flat, cables too long, QRs not aligned, bike not floating magically in centre of picture...

All terrible and worthy losers.

Give them a break, they’re Bridesmaids - not Cindy Crawfords

Re:

You'd look at that line up and wonder how they couldn't have won the 'Main Prize', they all look great, especially the Pace - which gets my vote for aesthetics (and being the same size as mine...17")

I was very unhappy with the Bob the Builder background...

It's swaying me, as the pedals are aligned, the tyres and rims too.
Big ring to show the chain off and the rear mech is vertical.
The cables all look nice, brake blocks at a reasonable distance.
And the bike looks great too

This was a tougher decision for me than BotY, that's for sure

Just noted that the rear valve on my bike is 1 degree off 6 o clock....I'll get my coat!
