Reader's Choice Awards aka Bike of the Year 2014.

Okay kids, you know the deal. The Official Fixed.org.au Readers Choice Awards (B.O.T.Y.) are back!

Same deal as 2012…I dunno if we did one in 2013.

There have been a lot of nice bikes posted in the “post your ride” section in the last year. It’s up to you, as a fixed.org.au member, to vote for your favourite fixed gear / tarck / track bike of 2014.

The rules are extremely simple.

1.) Look at all the bikes posted in the post your ride section in the last year. They have to be posted between 01/01/14 and 31/12/14.
2.) Choose the bike you like the most out of all those bikes. It can be a track bike, street fixed, commuter, polo bike, conversion, trick bike, whatever, but… it must have a FIXED drive train (no road bikes or SS).
3.) The bike MUST be owned / ridden by a member of fixed.org.au. No other bike porn please.
4.) Post a reply to this thread with a link to the bike you choose. I repeat, post a reply in this thread with a link to the bike you choose.
5.) That’s it, you’ve voted for you’re favourite bike of 2014 on fixed.org.au.

Voting will open from now and close at midnight 31/12/14. Any replies to this thread after then will not be included.

The bike with the most votes will be deemed the winner of the third (?) official Fixed.org.au Reader’s Choice Award and their bike thread will be stickied at the top of the “post your ride” section for the next year.

Fine print: Any responses to this thread that isn’t voting for a bike will be deleted. Again, any responses to this thread that isn’t voting for a bike will be deleted. You can vote for your own bike if you wish, but do you really want to be that person? Once again, voting closes midnight 31/12/14, no posts after then will be considered. Any member on fixed.org.au can vote (but making mutiple accounts to vote for one bike will be frowned upon / user will be teased and/or banned).

Have fun voting!
