Retrobike BoTY 2008

[Defiant]

Has to be Dr' S Fat Chance Shock-a-Billy, Looks just perfect to me

There are nights that i wake up screaming,..and regretting that i did not buy that SAB! :evil:
i should have traded that one with the Defiant :?

John's Fat for me.. tough call tho' some real nice rides this year

I think Skide's Funk is one of the most beautiful bikes I've ever seen...BUT it's not totally retro and so I went with Defiant's Boulder. It just looks perfect.

If you consider last years BoTY...some pretty huge shoes to fill.


Still Kai's Tinker Replica for me for effort and attention to detail.
The Lemond, the Lloyd and Shamus' Klein are also all fantastic.

Dr S' Fat Chance Shock-a-Billy.

Looks like falling down the stairs and landing on your feet without a scratch.

Its got to be Defiant’s Serotta ATX.. I like the story behind it.. oh and its looks great!

BOTY

I think Gumps WTR.
They are all worthy winners but everytime I see a pic of this bike I think wow, I would love a bike just like that. (maybe in my size with the saddle lowered :roll: )

Best of luck to all

Tough, very tough. So many lovely bikes, but the ones that always stand out for me are clean builds that have the trick parts, without screaming about it (too much). So, it's going to have to be Gump, (just narrowly pipping the Serotta for the above reason).

Gumps bike is exactly how I would have built my dream bike BITD and for me, perfectly sums up the era.

Still Kai's Tinker Replica for me for effort and attention to detail..

Rumpfy and I finally agree on something

It was for those two points that I chose it as my 'non-winning' pick. How it never won a BoTM is still beyond me :?

 

[Hilts]

I've gone for my own pick, Shamus's Klein Attitude, that thing is a beauty.. if you ever sell I want first dibs!!

On a side note I find it slightly worrying that a bike with a disc brake might win this thing :shock:
