Awesome builds one and all!!!! WOW!
I appreciate everyone’s support and camaraderie with my build along the way!
I feel bad I didn’t get my bike done, but…. I ran into life the last 3 months and this deadline just didn’t fit!
I’ll keep plugging away on this guy to try to keep up with y’all!
Thanks again and awesome builds everyone!

Well done everyone! I apologize for not putting up a build synopsis, or being as interactive this past week.
It's a weird headspace I find myself in toward the end of a build off (and after). You're using so much creative energy on the build itself, mental energy on problem solving, and physical energy on execution. All this while juggling life's duties. I hit a burnout state about 2 days before deadline. Took everything I had to get photos edited and posted. My build journal is very thorough if anyone who hasn't followed the build wants to see more, but I just didn't have enough juice to put together a recap.
While needing to decompress after a build-off, I also miss the daily updates of everyone's builds. It's a weird push/pull paradox.
Anyway, congrats to everyone who participated! Whether you finished or not, I applaud you. It's no small task.

It seems like many come out of the summer build off with a huge sigh of relief and then in turn we see a definite dip in activity. I think the combination of the mad rush to finish sometimes as well as the high expectations placed upon ourselves can sometimes be slightly overwhelming.
Great job

Definitely! A photo finish for sure.
Thank you to everyone that cast a vote for the Hoppy! And congrats to everyone that finished! Lots of great bikes for RRBBO19!
@Shrunken_Head_Pedaler , I'm sorry that it ended the way it did for you. You have a great bike that really resonated with everyone and lead the way for the majority of the week! It just came down to the clock. Only a few hours in either direction and it could have easily been the other way around. Congratulations on a stellar build!
@kingfish254 , I was stunned by the final surge that moved you into the lead for a while coming from several places back just a couple days ago! You really had me worried! Again, depending on the clock this would be a different conclusion. Great job Brian, congrats!
CONGRATS!!! @The Renaissance Man !!!!
I'm working on the Final Rankings List and will have them ready shortly

Congratulations! It’s funny, if I had not put a vote in for yours it would have been a 3 way!
Well done by everyone!
Congratulations @The Rennaisance Man and to all the other talented and dedicates builders!
This buildoff has been my summer delight for 9 years now, and still I keep looking forward to all the creativity and commradery.

I experience this fatigue too. I really had to push myself to put together my finished threads after work last week. I just take on too many projects. But as soon as this build off was in the can for me I felt much better. And now I'm chomping at the bit to get into the Step Thru and Muscle builds in a few weeks.

Speaks to your character though! No vote guarding, just casting them for what resonates with you and those that are deserving
