Wow.  In this field, a 12 vote margin seems like an absolute blowout.

Congrats to all on a group of amazing bikes.

Congratulations Godffery!

Well deserved win.
As i said before:
Congrats Godffery!

I´m really impressed by your bike.
In my opinion it has a fine balance between bling and tech.
It´s a feast for the eyes.
And at all it´s an awesome piece of craftsmanship.

Well done.

There are not much more words to say.

And also congratulations to all the other competitors.
All the bikes are in their own kind winners.

Regards, Heinz

Well done Godffrey! ;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?"
