Glen's TA gets my vote for being a new take on a classic, the GT is a close second though - love a Nora.

Lovin that DP Firebird

Call me an old fashioned romantic fool but I can't quite get my head round the new school / old school TA (no offence, just different strokes for different folks). For me it's between the HLT for the blinging attention to detail (I do not question his commitment to sparkle motion)

and the Scorpion for the pure nostalgic boy-joy it gives me

Great month once again though so great work and little bit of man love to all

I think I've been loved-up by a Scorpion this morning

Damn it. With Hutch's and HLT's in the mix this month, what chance do we mere mortals stand?

My second Pro-class build, and I've entered it now as I'm praying that Neil (n2cus) will not have his (my old one!) re-done in time for this month end. Non of this bike is NOS, it's all restored from the dead, so here goes......

1983 First gen Mongoose Pro-class frame and forks - repaired and pe-painted by FHMreader - cheers again Mark - you're getting better each one you do

Pro-class wheels re-anno'd and rebuilt with new Suzue's
Pro-class bars (re-chromed) and blue Sugino stem (with scars)
DC MX thou's (totally minty) and Tech4's (let's face it, if I wanted a pair of mint blue Tech 3's, I'd have to take out a new mortgage)
GT seatpost, well shagged blue Kashi Aero and a blue FS (not DC, haven't got money to burn) minged clamp
Single-pinch Flights with new sealed BB (just luuuuuuurve these - waiting for a blue decal set when I see Del next)
Mongoose grips (repops - cheers Bill Curtain)
Genuine NOS Mongoose blue Padset..... oh bugger.... sorry, they're NOS. I could put them on another bike if it makes then non-NOS

Tange headset (with scars)
MKS202 pedals (ridden on my other Pro-class, complete with scars and dirt)
Cheap but new tyres (got some Cheing Shin's, but that means more work to put them on and I haven't had time)

Enjoy, please vote for me, and the cheque's in the post for all those of you who do
