I'd like to nominate Jerry's K2

Wow - wasn't expecting that!  Thanks for the nomination, I'm honored, but will have to respectfully decline.
 
It was nominated last year for the BOTM (finished a distant 4th out of 4 bikes   ;D ;D ;D)

Its only fun the first time.......    Maybe the next project (now back to craigslist to find it ;))

Looks like there is a good bunch of bikes for this months contest all ready.

Thanks!

I just PM'd Devin, and he said YES, thanks, so I'm not sure if that suffices or if he has to say YES in this thread.

Thanks, Don! I'm as anxious to have it done as everyone else!

Devin, that thing is wicked.
All a man needs in this world is someone to love, if you can't give him that, give him hope, if you can't give him hope...just give him something to do!
