...where did Vitor's GT go? :roll:

... yes, and why do my posts regarding this keep being deleted, without any explanation?

V must have nominated the GT before? ...or pissed somebody off?

Poor tyre selection stopped me voting for the GT and Ritchey. Close call then between the Highpath and the Alien. I'm a believer

You crack me up dude. Cheers!

I don´t think i did anything wrong regarding this, i entered my bike before Robin´s Ibis, as you can see. If i pissed somebody off, which i don´t think so, that person would just have to email me explaining the issue instead of keep abusing of moderator tools and delete my posts without explanation. Again, i do not want to create a mess here, it´s not a big deal (BOTM is all about fun), but the attitude needs to be explained.

Would have voted for Vitor's Xizang but since it's for some odd reason excluded I went for Delboy's Zaskar. Why is that? Well, because of the work he did to get the fork and frame so shiny. I need my sunglasses!!!

No contest, Zieleman all the way (loving the Modolo Kronos brakes), shame the 'model' detracts a little from the sleek lines

Stunning stuff.

Honourable mentions to the Cleland and Pace also.

but I vote for Kingroon's Shocka, that thing is looking pretty RB.com...

A True Compliment if ever I heard one

Tricky month this :?

I so wanted to vote for the cleland for the history, but <shame> the Fat just reminds me of my wishlist as a kid - its a superb build.

Oh and Melvin is hot

One clear winner in my eyes and that is the UKs version of the Mk1 Breezer and that is Graham's Cleland.

Shed loads of history, buckets on innovations, a bike that was designed for the UK rather than inspired by ones build for the dusty trails of the West Coast, single owner, loads of modificatiosn over time - pure class!

Love Jez's Pace and the Fat but (and this is going to sound odd when talking about those bikes), they are sooo common in comparison to the Cleland! :shock:
