Well then it looks like you need a new bike to put it on!


Actually, just need to decide WHICH bike to put them on.

I saw a piece on BBC that there's a nation-wide campaign going on in the Phillipines right now, petitioning people to sign up on SOHC4 and vote with national pride. Gee, I wonder what that's about?  ???

Haha, just caught this  ;D

Some excellent bikes nominated. Great to even be part of the selection.

Congratulations Dave Monday and all of the nominees.  It was a close vote, and the lead was traded twice with Paolo's Thrilla from Manilla coming very close to closing the gap.
