Liking the Understated Santana...

Usually it's clear cut for me but this month there's a few I like. The Fats 'n Kleins could split themselves off the back. The Koga is sweet, but I think it would be more ascetically pleasing (to me) with a rigid fork. Then the Grove. And the Gecko..........

This is going to take some deep thought.

John, the link for the Zaskar is broken.

 

[Khane]

for me it has to be videojetmans RC100.

You can copy and paste to view the cool Zaskar which, by the way, I voted for. I know it's difficult, but it's worth it.

Oh, and excuse my direct way, but sometimes I wonder why these polls are here, because voting is pretty close-minded. When I say that, I mean isn't some Klein, Yeti, Fat Chance or Ritchey garage queen gonna win it by default??? Why even bother? I don't mean to offend anyone, but since I am browsing Retrobike, I found so many cool bikes, so many cool people and so many incredible build stories that are ten times better than a BORING Klein in a Dolomite spray or the odd period correct Yeti with all the "right" parts bolted to it.

I have great respect for all the brands listed above and for this community, but that's what popped into my head when I saw this poll and I hope that just for once the perfect Klein won't win. I know a lot of users will know what I mean by that. Please don't take it personally!

Have a great one!
