No, in the interest of impartiality my photos are just there each month to illustrate the thread. To kick it off type thing.

I think you should enter it. Surely no one would be that petty to object? We trust you

Appreciate the effort but should there be a minimum number of entries? If threshold not met, roll entries over to following month. Three bikes is hardly a competition when one tenets the many participants of old.

Devalues the badge.

An easy choice for me but I am in agreement with The History Man. Still, at least no one gets upset for losing because there is no loser, just Gold, Silver and Bronze.
And, check out those deep drops, handlebars and brakes - nice.
And again, is it the angle of the picture or has the Diamant had a head on?

Ok, I respect your ideal, but know your bike gets my unofficial vote.

Track bike with upright geometry. The front tyre has to be very skinny or it won’t clear the frame or fork. The stays are also short so it will likewise only clear the seat tube with skinny tyres.

Any guarantees that the roll over has the required number? Jamie has made the effort to organise it and the 3 of us have made the effort to put in entries.
