Well, that was fun.
I really enjoyed building a frame, can't wait to do another. But it's time for me to step back from build offs.

Congratulations to all who finished, and to the top three.
I guessed correctly who they'd be, just had them in different order.

We all have cool new bikes, now get out and ride 'em.

Looks about right to me.

And can I say... It's about time a trike took top three.

Thanks Falstaff!
I do believe a certain trike took second in the MBBO just gone too, but I agree, we need more representation from the three wheel builds!

Wow! Awesome work King! My brain was mush after doing the first 10!
 
Congrats Luke!!
Once the Outlaw arrived at the finish line it was a done deal ;)

This bike kicks butt on so many levels, but really I'd have to say it won it all based on plain and simple beauty of line...Which is amazing cuz the bike is also a total beast!
I hope we get to see the final details as they materialize.
When all the finishing touches are wrapped up, it'll be a RRB Hall of Famer for sure :)

Thanks Jaypem! I was really surprised by the results to be honest, I am horrible at picking winners! I thought Outlaw was a top10 bike, but not any better than that!
 
Oh yeah, I was kind of stoked to see my top 5 picks match the actual top 5...(yeah, I voted for my bike :41:...Lmk if that's bad form, I'll pull my vote ;) )
Of course I had my fingers crossed for pulling off second, but I really loved all the runners up.
:)
 
Luke didnt i call it? Just saying killer job and congratulations to the rest of us that finished. Took mine out on the second sat ride last night and pounded on far out flyer. Passed with flying colors and ready for obc

No way, clear number one IMHO.
The fabrication and mechanical details alone would have sealed it...and then it really came together visually. Solid!
Truck trike was my early favorite actually, then it as done and all the other bikes started coming together, it fell off my radar a little bit...But it's awesome as well and I may as well say, it's going to be the inspiration for the next build.
Now I guess it's about time to put the phone down and get working on my parts pile !
