I just don't see the point of having more bike than I have time to ride...


Sounds like your wife may be brain washing you?!

ha ha, not my wife Stev-o its all about my little girls right know.  Both at 10 and 7 are extremely involved in sports and other activities that I don't want to miss out on, so the bikes just sit...  I will build another to keep the K1 company once they are a bit older.

I think if you laid down the receipts for the bikes you might see a little difference in the dollar/pound/euro/etc. value of the builds.  But, there is no way around it.

Congrats Tige. I voted for Otte's bike, yeah...I'm an outlier with the other 17...  Tige's bike is nice and so is  Blackfin's bike.

Here is a question: 

Do you find yourself voting for a bike that does not win most of the time?  I am like a bad luck for anybody, I place a vote and that bike is second at the best.

I'm glad you vote for what moves you. That's all that matters. Keep on voting!
