    • DO THE TON
Here are the Nomination Rules:

1. Nominate one of our member's bike for Bike of the Month - include up to 3 flattering pictures of the bike in question.

The Nomination MUST MUST MUST MUST be accompanied by the member's User Name, a link to the thread where their bike is best described (Build thread, Show n Shine etc.) and a PHOTO of the bike in question.

2. Someone seconds the nomination (please only second one nomination)

3. Member should accept the nomination

We will accept nominations till we have a good selection.  A poll will be set up and voting will take place for the remainder of the month.  Whoever ends the voting period with the most votes wins :)

As a reward, we will use a picture of the winner's bike on the site banner for the following month.

If you have an opinion on whether a bike should have been nominated or not, is qualified or not, or whatever, PM ME - this thread is NOT the place to debate the merits of a nomination.

I've kept this contest open to all for over a year and that's the way it is.  If you don't like a nomination, don't Second it, and ultimately don't VOTE for it.  So if someone nominates a milk-crate full of pistons and crank bearings, don't get your panties in a knot and start pulling your hair out.  Relax, have a drink, and get back to building your bikes.

If the collective membership is dumb enough to vote for said milk-crate full of spare parts as the BOTM, then so be it and I'll make a pretty banner of the parts (which would look cool BTW).  I'm a strong believer in democracy and the power of the vote.

Ok I am doing this because I laugh every time I see it in the rules:

I want to nominate Pawn's box of parts!


Tho if he accepts and anyone seconds it, I do think it would be cool. Afterall, many botm bikes start out looking like a milk crate of parts!

Oh yeah, here's the link.

I'll second that, just because he used a proper fork brace. Unlike all the other numbskulls that just go fenderless.

Glad to see a box of parts nominated :)

That stemmed out of a heated debate about what was and was not appropriate for a BOTM vote, so I tried to put it as crystal clear as I could in the 'rules'.

So if the box wins, it will be the banner.  Democracy shall rule (along with my inherent ability to make the results say whatever I want them to say ;))

I'm going to go on record and say that I have seen nicer looking boxes of parts than that. I mean it's definitely a good looking box of parts, but I've seen better.

Thank you Jack!  I graciously accept the nomination!
so a dolphin is driving and his car breaks down...he takes it to a mechanic...the mechanic says its going to be a few hours if he wants to wander around the town...upon his return, the mechanic says "looks like you blew a seal" to which the dolphin replies: "no sir, it was a walrus"
