[Anonymous]

i just wanna say all of the bikes are bad donkey... could only vote once so i looked through.
found the one that clicked and made me think thats how i would have mine.


but i'd take em all. :mrgreen:

 

[karfer67]

agreed this is a tough deal ther are alot of bikes that deserve attention. everyone who built a bike this time around put a lot of heart and thought into their builds that is very evident. good job to all

 

[musclebikes]

I looked throgh the page that had all the build off bikes on it, and ide say that all the bikes had allot of heart put into them.

I just got a question, I only had 1 vote on my bike, and that was by my parents :roll:
I wanna get your guys opinion on why my bike wasnt a huge hit.....did i make it too pretty?

 

[october]

did i make it too pretty?

no, you did not make it too pretty...

i really like your bike, you did a great job on it
and it is a bike that i personally would ride.

do you like it? are you happy with it?
that's really the only thing you need to worry about...

there were a lot of entries, and a lot of exceptional work done...
dont beat yourself up about it :wink: and dont be discouraged, you have built an awesome bike!

keep 'em coming and keep up the good work!

Hey musclebikes, IF I had 41 children, and HAD TO pick a favorite, that would be easier than picking a favorite bike out of the group of bikes that were presented to us. I had a favorite bike, but I loved them all.

... why my bike wasnt a huge hit.....did i make it too pretty?

yours was up there on my top pics MB, i myself prefer "freshly painted 2-tone" bikes the crustyrusty's, i really like the fenders and brackets too, kind of industrial lookin, i narrowed it down to my top ten, then chose the one id want to ride the most if i could only ride one.

dont doubt your bike for a second man, im sure it got more looks than you think ! as long as your happy with it, doesnt matter

 

[tikiharl]

Hey MB ,your bike was in my top 10 as well. The big question is, do you like it? thats what matters most. I personally am not into the lowrider style of some of the other bikes, but i have to admit there are some nice ones in the lineup. It just depends what your style is, your personality. I had to vote for Elvis cause that to me that is a bike that I could see myself ridin w/ a grin from ear to ear. Anyway be proud you have a great ride there

 

[socal_jack]

Woohoo !!! Got one myself.

musclebike, your bike was certainly on par with the Elvis entry, prettiness-wise. I think October is right it's a great bike and as long as you like it that's all that matters, there's no accounting for other people's tastes. I get lots of compliments on mine at the beach so that helps offset my own meager RBBO2 results.


EDIT: Just checked only 117/out of 725 members have voted so far

 

[musclebikes]

cool, thanks guys,My bike is something that I like to ride, and being this is the first "boardtrack" style ive built, its a completely new riding experiance.I believe my time and little custom touches paid off, because theres nothing else like it in town.

Im gonna tell you what I told my dad after my first ride on it "Well, it creaks, it shakes, it wants to fall apart....I loved every second of it. :mrgreen:

 

[aka_locojoe]

So you weren't everyone's 1st choice but you could have been everyone's 2nd choice.

And you're one up on me. I didn't enter a bike.

 

[Anonymous]

Its better to have entered and lost than to never have entered at all. (or something like that)

Hey MB your one up on me too...I didnt enter either.

 

[karfer67]

it is really tough when you have 40 bikes to choose from and make just one vote. i bet we could all look at each bike entered and choose something that stands out on each bike. i personally feel the trick to winning this thing is to create something that draws on a few of those aspects then combinds them with something new that has not been done before. thats what i tried with the ratty truck and i guess it worked. like said before dont beat yourself up because your bike did not win i have been known to stare at a frame for months (my friends think i am a bit strange when i do it) before the bike will "talk" to me and then it all just comes together. when i mocked up the ratty truck i sat it outside and sat down 10 feet from her just staring thinking to myself "is this it? is it right?"
