Each week we will collate a selection of the best rated bikes for our best bike feature, with the highest rated bike winning ‘bike of the week’
So don’t be shy, join the Rate My Bike Facebook group and get involved.
1. Mike Zimmerman's Giant Propel
Mike calls it his 'Killer-Propel', and with the Vincenzo Niabli-esque shark decal you can see why.
2. Edu Andrs Cñl's Scott Foil 10disc
That must have been tricky to find a matching saddle to the tyre side walls.
3. Mike Woodland's Giant Propel
The lizard skin bar tape. The 53/37 fibrelyte aero chainrings. Weighing under seven kilograms. Solid.
4. Bryn Jefferies's Independent Fabrication
This is a sleek ride with full Enve finishing kit, Enve 3.4 SES and Campagnolo Super Record.
5. Tom Clayton's Colnago Concept
The bike is almost as beautiful as that ride itself.
6. Millie Cass's Canyon
Millie claimed that 'Carrie the Canyon brightened up a very damp ride'.
7. Joshua Brown's Boardman
As Joshua puts it 'Haters gonna hate, when your wheels are the same price as your bike.'
8. Tom Phillips's Cinelli Vigorelli
A 'left field ride' but one that certainly stands out.
9. Marco Itzik's Canyon
You can forgive him not taking the photo in the big ring when you have just climbed the Zoncolan.
10. ...And this week's 'Bike of the Week' Philippe WM's Specialized Allez Sprint
Philippe's aluminium criterium race bike is just one of 100 in the world. With Roval CL60 wheels, aerofly handlebar and S-Works power saddle. He claims it is a very fast bike for much cheaper than the carbon option.
