Hopefully not too late and I haven’t entered it before and I do still own it.

Here for consideration in April'is BOTM is my Diamant Columbus TSX Campagnolo chorus equipped road bike circa 1989 /1990, super clean Belgian race machine with original owners name engraved on Cinelli 1R stem . The bike came to me complete and in this condition which is show room .
low gear I think 42 x 19 meant to be raced or changed so my knees do not snap .

I just read the rules. This bike is also illegal as it has a modern cockpit and drive. Dang rules. Ha, ha.

cockpit? I thought it was about bikes not planes

My 1994 Raleigh Royal, Reynolds 708 tubeset. Upgraded cantis, wheelset, Morphe Randonneur bars, Dia Compe Stem, B17 special, Shimano RSX chainset.

The rest is original. No build thread, surprise

Saved just at the moment it was literally about to be rolled into the skip at the amenity tip, covered in moss, black mould and "other stuff".

I love this bike, it will burn with me in my funeral pyre.

But that’s for dirty bikes!

All that is unnecessary on a road bike. Discs are downright dangerous as they have removed kneecaps from a road bike crash. Tubelesss, what good is a tire if you can’t get it on and off if you get a flat during a road cruise. Fixed gear is for the track.
