Another vote for the Dave Loyd here too, I adore the 'Sam Sparro' Pace but the Dave Lloyd really twigs it for me, such a lovely bike.

Sam Sparro has a song out called "Black and Gold"...just a thought

I've finally got round to taking a picture of it, it's my only retro bike and I love it, so I'll stick this in - 1994 Orange P7 parts-bin special (no, really)!

That Ellison throws the cat amongst the pigeons. Very nice.

 

[David Gibson]

Ellison

Yes, that Ellison is quite stunning. Looks like another good month.

 

[GaryTurner]

:shock: very very high level this month !

Some great bikes again and so hard to choose.

Like looking at them all, but seeing as the standard is so high i'm going for a bike that we have seen from when it was first noticed on Ebay
Then develop through various stages of build and finally the finished article with a few hiccups along the way.
To me that really is a bike of the month

So its Pickles Zaskar that gets my vote, closely followed by the Lloyd which also had a story, but to a lesser extent

Think the Serotta got a few votes for the same reason last month

How about my 1997 Kula SS... :twisted:
