As a moderator, one of the interesting things is to watch the voting unfold.  The initial voting results do not necessarily reflect the final ones.  Sometimes the "leader" position changes over the 2 weeks of voting.

This bike is great from top to bottom.  Excellent aesthetic choices too.

Thanks everyone for the help and support! I could not stop staring at Marcel's K0! I can take credit for all the mechanical, but the aesthetic and all color choices is all my designer/wife. I have 1000 miles on the bike already. Been riding every day!
