NOMINATE for Bike Of The Month - February 2009
« on: January 05, 2009, 03:36:18 PM »
Nominations have ended and the voting thread is up.  Cast your vote at the link below.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Gave Heff a few days to see if he will start this one but he is still not back. 

Below is the thread for the rules that Heff laid out.  I will try to stick close to them.

http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php?topic=8929.0

According to the rules, at the bottom of the above thread, he mentions Bike Of The Year.  I will start that on another thread.

So, on with the nominations.  Oh, it is wide open unless y'all wish to be more specific.

I want to nominate Mec's beautiful Egli replica, by far the best engineered bike on this site, bar none.

It's not finished yet though, so until then I'll go with Sam's CR, the poor old bugger isn't getting any younger, so it'd be nice if he saw his name in lights just once more, before everything fades to gray................  ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

On the 15th or 16th I'll create the voting thread for this one.  Then you may vote Ben.  Yea, I think we all have figured out which one you will choose, lol.

hey Giga i threw this idea at Heff a long time ago , but it never went anywhere

you should put a link to the voting thread, in this thread. (either in the first post, or the last post, ..or both)

that way , people like me, who forget, are reminded by the thread popping up in the "show new replies to your post"

and then people like Ben , who don't know where to vote , will have a link

just a thought

Thanks Giga for the nomination and all who seconded and gave their support.
Being a past winner and never being the owner of the bike (I was only the builder) I think it only fair to decline and give others the chance of their share of glory ;D ;D ;D ;D
Looking at it another way, until the bike is sold, it remains part of the inheritance of member Benly Ben ;D ;D ;D as it is his fathers machine. Perhaps someone would like to nominate it in his name, I'm sure he would accept. ::) ::) ::) ::)
