BoTM Bike of The Month December 2022 - now taking entries

[oldave]

But if you do a non catalogue build to it, maybe should be?

But where would that end?! Seems to me that current rules, if I am interpreting them correctly, are pretty clear and thus fit-for-purpose.

If @Peachy! is in, Im in too! Wonder if our nemesis will join the party?

Going with the idea....I've got one but I'll enter the other! This is my only build this year so just in time for the last botm of the year.

boy"O"boy's 1991 Orange Aluminium "O"

boy"O"boy's 1991 Orange Aluminum "O" #2

Stunning as usual, and a proper size. That Mavic wheelset is nice, and i hope you get to the bottom of the rear mech issue. Just makes me want to ride it :cool:

@pw_pw_la - haven't entered this one yet so following your suggestion, here it is! Tempted to enter this one absolutely covered in mud...but current circumstances mean this may not happen. I'll put these pictures forward, but may revise them before the deadline if I get the chance to ride.

yes i know that you usually got no chance by posting a KLEIN in here.
And i´m usually no fan of KLEIN either, but i do like mountain kleins, and the very early pinnacle with that double cable insert on the drive side, and of course u brake on the cs.
There was a chance of getting of of these frames (of course i payed too much cause i got no clue about Kleins) and put my parts and hands on this.
So this is my version of a 89 KLEIN pinnacle that i do like very much. Colour is very inconspicuous and so i thought the bullseye wheelset might fit somehow.





have a nice wintertime
cheers Kay
