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!

Reads this; checks calendar- phew! For a second there I thought it was 2008 still. Something tells me you have not bothered to go look through all the previous BoTM polls, before making your definitive statement, otherwise you might have refrained. There's a great diversity in the entrants and winners. If anything, the argument use to be that the more common bikes would beat the "upper shelf" bikes too frequently, making it too much of a joke. That was wrong, and you're wrong.
Please don't take it personally
So anyway,
really like the Fats and the Gecko, but I have a fondness for the Pink Monster since seeing it on ebay years ago, and watching pass though a couple owners, with vastly different builds, from the frame up. Good stuff, James
