Both bikes have been seconded. We just need James to post that he "Accepts" the nominations in the following thread: http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php/topic,180400.0.html

Maybe we'll have the red one go against the blue one!
I accept the nomination(s). Very humbled and greatly appreciated.

Thanks James! Do the Yamiya shocks have three or five preload positions?

Good luck with the show!

James..... when you get a chance, still curious for more detail on the Yamiya shocks. How many click position? Thanks!
5 positions. On offer at the moment as well:

I have a set. The three click rings from my originals are in good shape. I’m going to see if I can swap them in.......

Uh Oh, Red vs Candy Blue/Green
Yes, it looks blue because most cameras don't render the color very well.
The red might be faster but the blue/green is smoother and will last longer

Thanks again everyone for your contributions.

Seems to be well received at the show, even if it’s on a BSA stand lol..
