Finally please include a link to your machine in the relevant Reader's Bikes section. If you don't have an existing post now is the time to add one with as much detail as you like!
Limiting entries to 10 this month. When we have 10 the poll will go up.

The entries must either be a special or limited edition, ideally in the title to prevent argument. Go to work!

fyi, this was entered into a "normal" month back in feb 2010 so this being a "special" i think it's ok for one more entry, although that said it was quite different in spec then anyway.

have just added another picture, it's from a retro ride at cannock chase a couple of years ago, just wanted to show it gets ridden!

That's a thing of real beauty. I'd definitely be happy to add it to the collection. Compliment my E4 nicely that would

This should be fun, although I predict a lot of Saracens.

I though saracens to, My dad used to have an early 91/92 one.

Was wondering what each companies SE/LE where, Rocky used TO at some point but then most where limited anyway, GT was LE ?
Marin had the bear valley SE. But none are how I see LE/SE aka last years hang around frame with some new bits piled on it.

I forgot about the Bear Valley SE - that is one loose use of the term 'Special Edition'. An edition so special that it appeared in every catalogue, every year.

I want to see Fat Chance Fatlantas, Fat 10th Anniversaries, Specialized Epic Ultimates, Merlin Newsboys, Breezer series I or II. But then I am a snob when it comes to staring at other peoples bike porn in BOTM

The SE Bear would work. Possibly only in name through as Pete indicates.

Fat 10th, Fatlantas etc would also be good

Im amazed there are so few entries so far. I would have thought The flood gates would have been opened by now. :?
