I thought I'd have a go at this. Johngoose did it 2 years ago, and I for one thought it was a nice little additional competition and a bit of fun.

What I want you to do is pick a bike, any bike from any year/era, from any owner/builder. It's open to all bikes, so you can have a trawl through the museum and pick a bike of your choice, even if it was built 5 years ago for example. You can even enter your own bike, should you wish to do so.

I'll let this run till Monday morning, to generate some interest, then I'll run a poll with all the entrants. All you need to do is add a pic of the bike of your choice, the make/model/year of the bike, and it's owner. The poll will include all entrants, then hopefully with enough bikes in, I'll be able to take the top 10 bikes, then another poll will be started, 5 bikes will then be added to another poll, then it will be a race to the finish with the last 3, leaving hopefully 1 winner.

Remember though, this is purely for a bit of fun, there will be no prize, and lets just try and keep it simple (for me) by keeping the comments to a minimum.

Are we up for this Radsters?

I'll start the ball rolling with JT's Hutch Pro Racer, saw it at Radchester.

It's a bike a want in my collection, and not far off the spec I'd have myself.

This is my inspiration for wanting one of these which I am fortunate to do so. Jon, OLDSKOOLPK's, 1984 Direct Link

There's a few I love. The White/Orange PK Ripper, Sam Meticulous's VDC Changa, but I'd have to pick this beauty. Kappy's 1984 (or possibly 85 due to the square chain stays) GJS Freestyler

Good response to this so far lads, and a nice selection of bikes.

I reckon I could have spent weeks thinking about this but in the end I've settled on this 1979 JMC Long Standard.
