Not so retro, but with some retro parts.

Hope you like it.

Got any better pics, really like the blend of modern parts you've choosen with the retro stuff.

Good luck JV !!

I think JV may need some help here. Please note Rule 11a of BOTM in FAQ

First off BOTM is a bit of fun! Don't get too serious

1. Entries are accepted from all parts of the site. MTB, Road, BMX, Cyclocross, whatever.
.........
11. Don't take it too seriously
11a. If there are more than 25 entries in one month, then only bikes having been ridden on an official retrobike meet will be entered to the final Readers Poll

So it seems everyones choice is between mine and Jango's DBR Axis Team Ti or Iwasgoodonce's Bonty

Good luck Jango!

Which means i´ll never get to see one of my bikes on a poll, unless i put the right bike (but which one?) on an airplane and meet you guys...

Just ask john to make your next ride an official Portugese retrobike event I'm sure he won't mind.
