This is going to be a tight vote! Both bikes are exceptional. I like a good restoration and a innovative custom, but these performance-built race bikes are amazing.

It's an extremely close contest vote-wise between these two race bikes.  PLEASE REMEMBER to cast your vote:  http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php/topic,189465.0.html
