December 2010 BoTM - Nominations please

[wadsy]

Tough call this month! I'm between the 1936 mercury and the 2001 Santa Cruz Juliana! Although I'm really into Paul's Bravado!

Really? that's cool, didn't think I'd get a vote given the high standard - yet again

I dig the Santa Cruz too but lets be honest, 2001 ain't retro. Those boulders are both beautiful and that Kona Hot is unique and appealing. It is a rider too which gets extra points in my book.

I suggest you all vote based solely on weight and longevity. Be kind to the truly elderly.

What's in a name?

First ever entry into this so be easy with me. My 1985 Claud Butler Canyon. ]

I like it! Finished to a very high standard.

Did you know your CB doesn't have much in common with the later stuff beyond the name?

But my vote would go to sithlord's Look, it's stunning. I don't even like white. I like shiny though

There are some great bikes this month but also a few that make me want to barf! I'm liking the Hot, the Salsa and the two Boulders, but the white one is just too perfect - like a super hot girl who is scared of getting dirty!

When is the cut off point? I've just finished my Lobster tonight (Well, sort of...) Wouldn't mind putting it in the mix

I will never understand people who have such great bikes only to hang them on a wall and never ride them. It's like having a hot wife and never banging her.

see..even the talk is retro and before p.c.

To be fair I love it when people show what can be done wether it's a rider or just a looker, they are both done by people of the same cloth. I had a mint "ornament" and got rid

But now I've got a rider I'm tempted to buy another restore to perfection as well

we all do the same thing..have a passion for retro's

Now..when's the nominations finishing so the voting can begin?

Hopefully in time?...

I'll throw my 1994 Rock Lobster Expert in. I'll be starting a Thread later on this as to how it arrived, how it's got to end up here...

Basics for Spec: Re Coated a lighter 'French Blue', M737/8 XT, Mavic 231's, Rock Shox Judy XC (Overhauled), Control Tech Finishing Kit.

Hope you guys like something a little different from all the Yo Eddys (No Offence )...It's built as a rider. The Spec is understated but what a 21yr old Apprentice could ill afford back in 94'
