There are just way too many awesome bikes on this site. Just goes to show the hidden talent that many of us have.

For this month, though, I would like to nominate Cqyqte's awesome SOHC4 cruiser:





1978 CB750K Project
2000 Ducati ST2
...and a pedal bike

Join the AMA today!!

There is a 450 bobber here at work sometimes, that looks somewhat similar.  Quite cute actually.  It would be too small for me but an excellent starter bike with kewl looks.

Now this bike, I would ride!

I hereby [unofficially] declare Cqyqte the winner! 

That is the sweetest bike that I have seen in quite awhile.

I feel bad for anyone going up against him as he is sure to win.

Thanks Ecosse!!!

Uhm, so I should post a better pic or two? Thanks for the nomination. Pretty tough company with the chopper and cafe options to choose from this month!

When it stops raining I will try and get a pic or two of its best side.

Thanks again it has been a great build.

Bill and Project 13.

And we accept the nomination whole heartedly!

Save the bling until the voting thread.  Especially if you have been through the 3-step program.
