Thanks, it was a temporary tank I slapped on for break in while I was welding up my other tank.

oxyjansen said:This is my first year entering the official build off, and I was wondering if someone could explain how voting is accomplished and when? I'm making the assumption that all votes are cast after the deadline, and that we the people are the ones voting even if we have a build in the contest? If everyone allowed only 1 vote?
Thanx in advance!
herr_rudolf said:One of the moderators will set-up a voting-system in a seperate thread that lists all the participating bikes (with links to pics of them, if I remember correctly). Every member gets to cast 3 votes, when the Build-off deadline has passed.

Skrufryder said:I personaly think its in bad taste to vote for your own, but I quess if you get three votes. What do ya do?
Oh yeah is there gona be different catagories i.e. best in show,smalliest budget, crowd favorite that sorta thing, or just one overall vote/winner?
herr_rudolf said:"What do you do, with three votes?"
There are no catagories. But you can catagorize for your own though. For instance: I always look for the overal winner that fit's the hotrod-spirit of this site best. Then I look for the one that went through the biggest transformation. After that I think I vote for the one with the most surprises in his build(thread). Oh and I tend to go for the underdog. Something like that.
Great outlook on it man! I will be looking forward to your build :wink:bikebuilder said:Point understood. I will just build it in my own separate thread and pretend I am in the build-off.
bikebuilder said:Regarding rules #3 and #10. Respectively the use of a factory frame and goofy questions.
I hope this is not a goofy question trying to get around the rules. I want to build a swingbike for the build-off. I do not have a complete factory frame. I have a factory rear triangle I am repairing and I have a friend with an original top frame section I am borrowing to make a jig so I can make an exact copy as far as geometry goes. I will fake the cast head tubes. You won't be able to tell once painted that it's not a factory frame. I realize that not everyone has the tools to do this and it may not fit within the rules. I am going to build this bike anyway, but I would like to enter it in the build-off if this is not stretching the rules too much.
="herr_rudolf" Not goofy at all. Just a matter of where personal boundaries are set. I tend to say 'yes, no problem', but double nickle has a good point. Isn't there any other way you can obtain the real thing? Buying it from your friend? Or build it for your friend and trade it with him. Or also duplicate the rear triangle for payment for your friend so you both can have swingbikes... 8)
