It’s hard to believe that this year’s build off has already come and gone. We had 166 people enter the contest this time around and 93 of them finished their bikes and were eligible for voting. Top prize went to Adam (karfer67) from Sacramento, CA with his Galt Town Hooligan. Creativity was in full gear this time around and we saw some really unique bikes built.
