RBotM March 2017- Brexit Special -British and European Month

Well here we are at the end of the month and article 50 has been triggered and Brexit is really happening, and so it is with our poll this month. Though I must say that there is a lot more civility and a lot less politics here on the Retrobike road section than out there in the real world ; ) . And that's not something that can usually be said.

This month, like most, we have a great selection of cycles to suite all tastes, a great turnout once again of some very special rides. Thanks to everyone for entering as it never ceases to amaze me the standard of machines being ridden and restored out there.

The poll will run to the usual rules, it will run for 5 days, one vote per member and the results will stay hidden until the end of the poll. More in depth rules can be found in the Wiki section.

Re: Re:

Well done indeed and congratulations. A lovely looking bike. Does it ride as well as it looks? Hilary Stone has one for sale if anyone is interested.

I am intrigued by the Paris Galibier frame layout, also a nice and rare bike btw. Can you feal any flex from the none-triangulated bottom bracket when pedaling?
