rBoTM RBotM November 2024 - Open Month - Entries Now Open!!!!!

[Jamiedyer]

Welcome to RBotM November 2024 - Open Month

Yes! We are back into it once again.
Open Month so all entries welcomed with the only exclusions being any previous winners of RBotM.

So dig out those autumn riders and get a few snaps in the ever dwindling sunshine or if you are in the southern hemisphere, then the days are getting longer so there really is no excuse.

Rules are simple, take two photos and a brief description of a sentence or two, hopefully a link to a build page or website with more information, and you are good to go.
Entries open until the end of the month with the winner being decided after a five day poll.
So get out, get snapping and get uploading. Hopefully we will have a great selection to choose from.

Can I enter my 1990 TVT92 Lemond Giro D’Italia replica?

This is the top bike on my hit-list of must have retro road bikes. This was built up to match, part for part, Greg Lemond’s 1990 Giro D’Italia Z Vetements TVT.
I’ve only ridden it up and down the road a few times, saving it for nicer weather as I don’t want to take my life in my hands using Deltas in the wet..It’s not going to be a garage queen, in its previous form it was a rider so I owe it to the old owner to carry that on!
