mate, all it takes is someone to start a thread, then do some counting.

looks like you’ve just done part one!

I usually do it. But got lazy. Sorry. How many track bikes were even posted last year? Like 4?

I plan to do BOTY including track / road / MTB / CX and commuter this year.

Change the title of this thread. Leave voting open for 2 weeks, I’ll do the tally. Easy.

Just whatever is in the Post your ride section for 2013?

NJS is still Kool.

Fair few got posted up JLN. How about this, BOTY Track (it is fixed.org.au after all) and then an other or BEST-of-FOA category which can be anything, completely non bias and leaves it up to the FOA punters to post up their favourite non-fixed bike of the year.

Here’s my 2c with of contribution. Seems these are the options… if I missed you sorry. I’ve my vote vote narrowed down to three, gonna have to think on it. Good luck y’all!

OK, voting is open.

For 2013 it’s simple: Best Bike.

Be it fixed, CX, recumbent (jokes!), rando, they’re all vying for the same BOTY title.

This thread is for discussion and debate, the other thread is to cast your vote in.

EDIT - Will take my vote to other thread as per Blakey.

Is Erle’s MAP eligible for entry?

Yup.

What about all the bikes in the Post your Roadie thread (http://www.fixed.org.au/forums/f42/post-your-roadie-9801/) that aren’t in the post your ride forum?

If they have a proper thread from last year, then yes.

Can I add more photos to the thread for my bike that’s a little light on photos?

Struggling for votes? lol seem to be doing alright so far

Yes.

Yes.

As long as the bike was first built/posted in 2013.

Hedging my bets.

So who won?

JLN is slacking on counting the votes.

typical zoltan.
