So... which bikes have entered?
The MTB section is alot less messy on the botm.

They're a lot more special than us. Every bolt has to be anodised in the exact shade. The road section will show something 80% retro with shed parts making up the rest. And the road bikes are ridden, not just wall hangers.

Good to have a barrow entering, and with a full saddlebag!
Is that a Trykit conversion? Looks fab.

Were it the MTB BOTM you would be out already as the mudguards don't match.

Hamster it's a George longstaff one wheel drive outer conversion. Saddle bag is full of handy crap . Here it is with matching mudguards and a Trykit conversion for the sad people.

Squirrel chaser they're Kelly lever mounts used to be made in Oregon USA . Allows you to have brifters with out the faff. I am sure l had simplex retro fit gear levers then and any brake lever you like. Got them on my folding bike and titanium Audax bike, really like them

Yep, they were called Kelly Take-Offs. Here is a thread on how to home-make some equivalents: https://forum.cyclinguk.org/viewtopic.php?t=57027&start=15

Personally I like and will stick to bar-ends, but different strokes for different folks.
