[Hilts]

Oh my god, how the hell are you supposed to decide between that lot.....

the breezer, no, the yeti, no, the Ritchey, no, the Nikishi....no, my own bike (don't worry that was a joke i'd never vote for my own bike)...no, the GT. ...aaaarrrrggghhhhh

 

[retrobikeguy]

I like em all really :?

pinarello is nice, reminds me of the serrota t-max colours.

red and gold fat , bloody good build and lovely colour.

Trimble, because I like em and don't think they look like a hairdryer.

Nishiki, I always wanted one.

the Ritchey is just stunning, so stunning I don't think it needs my vote.

the Yeti, doesn't do it for me somehow

so I'm going for..............[drumroll]............... the Overburys

Class british bike, nice campy groupo, a U-brake and its even got the all important period feature of a rear mech guard

 

[JS1500]

I should have decals (and therefore new, better pics) soon.
Is it ok to swap my pics around when I have new ones John?
Cheers

Indeed, very hard choice!

@JS1500:

And please push the USE seatpost bushing/adapter in
Also like it without the decals!

Cheers

I am still in love with this Pinarello ...

My criteria for voting this month is mainly who's got their bike in their gallery (bonus points for extra information or different pictures, minus points for not even having a gallery) and has it got three chainrings....

The Overbury takes my precious vote this time!

Neil

PS. Reach for the irony, peeps... :roll:

 

[Lid]

The Nishiki Alien only looses out because of the chain ring bolts so I have to vote for the Ritchey.
It's a one off historical item that the original owner modified then...never rode. How many of those are you gonna find.

Hope to see you next month Jeff.

Bugger!

I will.
The trouble is that the seattubes on Vit T2s vary a little - meaning that the correct size shim (as fitted) is a bit big.
I will be filing it down soon!
