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

@The Renaissance Man

Nail biter!

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!

 

[kingfish254]

CONGRATS!!! @The Renaissance Man !!!!

I'm working on the Final Rankings List and will have them ready shortly

 

[Pondo]

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.

Sometimes that’s just the way the cards are dealt

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