So many killer bikes. I'm glad we can vote for more than 3 bikes. It makes it less painful to choose. Also, I got some votes this year. Woo-hoo!!!

I won't reveal anything for those who haven't voted yet, but the emerging top three are exactly what I expected! This is fun to watch.

Looks like #4 is starting to close in.

No, that would be another word that starts with 'C' and relates to meat eating....

How on Earth can someone chose a winner, from a list of 42 winners?

So many awesome bikes built . Very hard to pick 3 of them. Hoping I can find the time to do another build off eventually. Great job everyone!

Hey billy bob, there is not a limit to how many you vote for this year. Just have to post all the votes at one time. Once you hit "vote" button, it's over. I picked my top 10. Others have done more, or less, whatever you choose.

I do a type of horizontal cluster diagram and then vote for the top third, or so .

Voting is more stressful than filing my taxes!

First time I have had to vote without having followed every post of every build as it happened as I was away for most of it, all I can say is great work everyone, you didn't make it easy!

I picked 9 and that was being very strict...

This year has been really difficult, to many good bikes to choose from. Not to mention the scooter.
I see many more scoots being built on here. (yes, I voted for trot Rot)

That said, I'm glad to see you active Luke. I hope you and the wife are well.

Wow! Thanks, I appreciate it....I didn't vote for it! With so many great bikes entered, I wasn't expecting to get votes......But hey, it "started" out as a bike. I've been wanting to build one for a while and glad you guys gave me the opportunity to do it here...THANKS!

I'M NOT SURE BUT IS THIS THE LOWEST TURNOUT FOR A BUILD OFF?? ANYWAYS CONGRATS TO ALL THE FINISHERS. SOME OF YOU WERE UNDER MY RADAR. MANY THANKS TO ALL YOU WELL WISHERS IN MY TIME OF MOURNING. NAMASTE. PEACE

Jake, I did a analysis of all the build offs, from #1 - #12. Build Off 1 had the lowest number of finishers, and the lowest percentage of finishers at 36%. One year had a finish/start percentage of 63%. This year, and nearly every other build off, were within the average of finishers vs number of starters of 52.5%; by only 3-4 %. So, no matter how many we have in a build off, the 'retention rate' of those that finish is almost identical.

To me, that's more telling than how many actually started. Now, if we could only make something positive happen out of those numbers.....

 

[SwissGuy]

Even though I wasn't able to finish my build (sometimes life has other plans than building bikes), I still was watching and enjoying some of the other builds (couldn't follow all of them).
Casted my votes to seven of them (current leaders are among them...). Good luck to all the finishers, you did a great job!

 

[G-Matt]

another great build off always enjoy the fun and comradely with a great bunch of people. I wish i was able to have finished fink 49 but no go . I'll keep you guys posted . congratulations to all you that finished your awesome bikes !!!!

 

[SILVERKINGPC]

Hmmmm........4 votes by me today. Fun to see the totals...

 

[Joe Conde]

The RRBBOs never fails to surprise and amaze me! So much inspiration, it just fuels my bike addiction (not a bad thing, hehehe) and creativity! Congrats to all!

 

[metalchewy]

So many great bikes. Great work from all who participated. A bunch of really talented builders here!

Every bike that was started has its own style of coolness. Glad so many could finish with builds to be proud of. I hope to see some that didn't finish get over the line soon.
