 Well, I've been nominated five times and, while it's always an honor,  I would have much rather won (or lost) by a vote.
 Thanks so much anyway. And especially to Don, for putting together the BOTM every month/year.

I was hoping for someone to nominate a bike to compete with this one.  It would have been VERY tough to beat.  Not to worry.  This IS an official WIN.

Bike look really fine and is a worthy winner! The seat look extra good! Like the bike was produced like that from factory.

Many builds have for me strange seats.

I often have problems to find the  vote buttons. Only read about bikes but no vote button in sight.

Very nice bike. You did a great job and I like the colors on the paint scheme.

I agree this is a winner.
