Re:

Oh flamin' 'eck... I was absolutely convinced that Phoong's story of Mr Peters was going to clinch my vote and then one of Pongo's chuffin' Aendes hoves into view... I may have to spoil my ballot paper...
 
Might just offer this up for consideration...

My 1989 Raleigh 653... the second hand bike I had as a student, then sold it in about 1993, then missed it on and off ever since and then found another frame this summer so I’m back where I started with a big grin!

Sort of mini build thread here... viewtopic.php?f=23&t=402136&hilit=raleigh

What a cracking way to see out the year!
Each and every one would be a worthy winner, but like the Highlander, there can be only one. (unless it's a draw of course ;) )

There is still time to get those last minute entries in, though I doubt anybody's bike may actually be better than any of these fine machines ;)
(reverse psychology ;) )
