Sadly have had to withdraw Mkozaczek's 1987ish Mantis X, this strong contender having already been entered in the Feb 2022 Fillet Brazed Special month. As per Rule 15 > https://www.retrobike.co.uk/wiki/BoTM_Rules

Can those who voted for the Mantis advise if they are able to vote again - this this is how it should work. Maybe. If not will have to think about a poll reset.

Whilst enforcing rules have also updated the image on Danielson's Yo to that which includes pedals.

My second choice is probably obvious.

Mantis was first. Just.

1989 Denis Field

Those of you unfamiliar with this builder’s name are not loosing their marbles. This is the only mountain bike Denis ever built. The story goes back to 1987 when I was a confirmed roadie and was given my brothers Ridgeback 501. Competent but flawed it did me til I moved to Cornwall where the...

Too many tough choices, so when in doubt choose one I own.
