Remember when ER and BP tried to put together a Bike of the month voting competition here on VRC.

I think I was the only one who enjoyed it.

Ended up in a silly battle though....

But then, ....all those beautiful Ritchey's in one thread...:thumbsup: .

Mmmm Mmmmm...


Sure I wish I was out riding right now....

Yeah, Kind of like the Libyan elections

 

[MendonCycleSmith]

No winners left on the East Coast, as BP owns them all

Can't imagine how we'd get through something like that without some drama, might be a good *emotional growth* experience though....

I want to like the idea of it, but I find the RBUK BOTM's frustrate me. Some retarded bikes win, while other, more subtle well thought out bikes get ignored.

I think one of the best things going here IMHO....that has been missing recently, was 'Picture Friday' (with or without theme).

I agree and don't mind putting effort into picture Friday (Joe we need you) . Not the cool stuff some of you have, but I usually am not shy about taking and posting pictures...

(FWIW, I have a sweet aluminum 97 Kona project that is almost together. I have full intentions of winning BOTM with it )

Spins???

It would only be interesting after the first 2-3 years pass. BP would win every other month with a Ham, Eric would win with some Yeti's along with Hairstream and Ameybrook, Tim with some Ritcheys and so on and so forth. Maybe we should do a build of the month instead? Or project of the month.

Or maybe it could be a forced cull/vrc white elephant, to take some of the 'control' out of what we own and liven up some collections....

If one of your bikes gets 'nominated' by three other members, it goes in the pool. The bike that wins the most votes gets redistributed to one of the other competitors -at random- who must swap their nominated bike for it

Again with the Retrobike bashing! Enough already!:madman: To each his own.






I like picture friday. No losers/whiners, only winners.

 

[Rumpfy]

I wasn't bashing Retrobike, just the BOTM. I'd dislike the VRC BOTM for the same reasons.

I'm a snob. What.

 

[muddybuddy]

I'd be in favor. Just because it encourages more posting photos of lust worthy bikes. But, if there were to be an actual contest, I wouldn't be against some kind of screening of nominees, just to weed out the crap.

I agree that the best bike (i.e., my own favourite) doesn't always win, but it's only very occasionally that a bike I think is awful wins.

Here are some recent winners. All look worthy to me. The Alpinestars won BotY.

Simplicity is the keynote for success. Despite the fantasies of some here, fitting Spins would be the kiss of death.

Nice photos help too. As nice as that Goat is, the dark photo always bugged me.

But man, how can you fault people for missing subtlety!

its not that hard if you pay attention

but then hey, some people like gold grillz..

 

[Tassie Devil]

I quite enjoy looking at other peoples builds/photos and thus Picture Friday works for me, although the time zones make it Picture Saturday rather than Friday...

 

[pinguwin]

although the time zones make it Picture Saturday

Just post your pictures at your time on Friday and when we complain that it's not Picture Thursday, ignore us.
