Welcome all to RBotM July 2023 - Open Month

Well after an early summer break the RBotM is back, this month it is an open month so all welcome!
So take a couple of snaps of your latest favourite ride, or summer build and post it up with a couple of sentences description and a link to a readers rides or build page where people can learn more. Let everyone see what you have been up to lately.

Usual rules apply, one entry per member, brief description, two photos only with entries open until the end of the month with the winner then decided by a five day poll.
Get snapping.

Now that is a hard one. I believe it would be up to the members to agree to allow it though it may not be eligible to be included in the poll. Hard to say how retro it is without seeing the setup
So maybe add it and see what people think? If there is outrage then it can always be pulled.
Others thoughts are welcome, tentatively run it? or don't open the can of worms to start with?
Polite discussion is welcome non polite will be deleted.

It is in no part retro , just trying to support thread that's all .

Woz - Early 50s La Gazelle Eau-de-Nil

From the oldest surviving bicycle shop in France, and once a very reputable Paris "constructeur", this was found at a local charity shop and has gone through a deep but sympathetic restoration converting it from a "demi-course" to a more relaxed summer rider.

The build thread is very detailed; the finished build starts here:

I would like to show one the projects I've learned most , as the bikes from that era were really unknown to me. I've received very great help from this forum while restoring it. I believe it is an Orbea Super Professional from mid-late 30's. Here the link to project

Cinelli Corsa (badged Ricci Gianfranco, Ravenna) 54,5 cm SLX, in rosso Ferrari — identical to the legendary Supercorsa but for the seatstay cluster. Frame is approx 1990 but bike was not built until early noughties, so I am its first owner!

Last year I’ve found this Serotta Atlanta in incredible condition, almost complete Campagnolo Record 1998, 9speed groupset, Campagnolo Electron clincher wheels.
I’ve added the Record crankset, it was missing when I bought it, 3T Ergopower bars & titanium stem, titanium Selcof seatpost, San Marco Regal Evo saddle.
