March 2009 BoTM - POLL UP!

[Huntso]

Was going to study them all in a bit more detail, but seeing as they are all so nice going with my first impression

Cook it is then

I was chatting to Jim Rosenthal earlier, and he believes that the only real winner this month is Retrobike.

LOL!

A surfeit of the good stuff and a deliciously hard choice:

Doc's Pace is the build par none, and if there is one Aluminium frame that would tempt me, it would be one of these;

Zangolin's Saracen is sweet, rare and British;

but it's the Cooks that really bowled me over: nice build, good story and I'd love to give it shed room.

This is ridiculous, I took less time deciding on names for my kids....(ok, we all know the wife told me what we were calling them but I did have a few I liked...)

still no decision

I'll have to come back...

Have narrowed it down to 5 though...

March is a long month...I keep thinking this poll should be over, but there is over a week left.

I really need to educate myself on the Pace bikes; I didn't think it would run away from the field the way it has given the competition.

Hey, my stumpie has received four votes....very cool; thanks

aagh, must be going nuts, slept on the yeti, voted for something else (also amazing tho), where did it come from? this month is nuts i tell you..... :?: :?:

 

[mynchiboy]

It's a tight one but I'll go with Chris' P21...

You've got to give respect to those who take a frame that is pretty much written off as scrap by most then restore it to it's former glory with nice kit. Plus I wish I'd had a punt when it was listed for sale way back

Also I have fond memories of zoom stems so that seals it for me, one of the only things I could afford bitd with gardening round money

 

[sunchaser]

Tough :? but, going with 8levard's Kona Uncomplicated & the bike I was most likely to have owned BITD

Nice work

I didn't think it (Paces) would run away from the field the way it has given the competition

Neither did I. They are the last I would have voted for, square aluminium tubing, tsss !

Hey, my stumpie has received four votes....very cool; thanks

Yes it is lovely, one of my favorites.
But really, taking a pic of it with a rubbish bin in the background wasn't the thing to do, poor Stumpie !

What a great selection of loveliness! :shock:

I'm a sucker for a 'cross bike though....
