Decoster rules :daumenhoch:
-
Very Damn Commendable,all the entries are. :4_17_5:
:angel: :LolLolLolLol:
-
for me the decoster is a classy build, no disrespect to the other builds they are very very good, but they are 10 a penny
-
It`s got comp lll`s on it now Bren, just not in the pic
It's the pics that count Billy and that Ripper should not be shown with tyres from 'Toys R Us'...
As nice as it is, it's not 100%
Decoster for me thanks :daumenhoch:
-
lol on thought i was on vintage then for a second.
i'll get the tape measure out now to make sure the stickers are on right in the middle as well eh :2funny:.

Yeh, your right, they look wrong as well...
Lazy build...

-
Just post the right pics..
Lazy...

i cant brenn me ole mucka. the bikes broke down behind the setee at the minute seeing as the christmas tree has took its place.
mind saying that i like them tyres on it.
i think im gonna keep it that way :daumenhoch:.
-
Personally, I think it's pretty anal if branded tyres dictate the winning vote. That Ripper is hot regardless and I'm sure most other members would agree

Bike of the Year... not, it'll do for now...
Look at the detail on the other bikes, it could take years to pull those parts together...
The Devil is in the Detail ::)
Happy Xmas :daumenhoch:

-
i'll just say this.
if you dont like the ole ripper.
dont vote for it.
the bikes not finished yet but its all i had that i built this year.
one thing i would never do is rip somebodies build because I did'nt like it.
we all got differnt tastes and ammounts of money we can spend on them.
oh yeah and a merry christmas to you as well lol.

I still can't believe my "2006" Proper was not in the running...... :tickedoff:

-

mine has the right tyres on them. They are 2006 Fly tyres.....
Not that I'm bitter or anything, but I may have to go to the European courts on this...... The competition is Bike of the Year 2006.... Mine is the only 2006 entrant...... :tickedoff:

just for mr brenn.
and yes one is a fatty for the front :P.

i'm glad that's been sorted.... :daumenhoch:

Gotta agree with Bren about detail
High end parts are fantastic if you can afford the luxury. They're all winners and that's what this crazy hobby is all about :daumenhoch:
Steve

people stop wasting your votes, there is only one condor in it so it cant be that hard to vote, ffs, even for you lot

I agree , it's not about the most expensive parts but detail & originality :daumenhoch:
-
I'm just chuffed I got through to the final 5 - thanks loads. I might actually keep this bike for a change :)
-
Well done chaps - loverly bikes!
It's gotta be Fuzzy's Condor though. Yum Yum Yum Yum.
:daumenhoch:
-
All stunning bikes, Love the Decoster just because of the history it carries. The C Dub looks so 80's in the orange & white and is my favourite but, dordys Ripper is the one I voted for because it is pure class. I have never seen such perfection on colour co-ordination and build, it is simply stunning. That is the bike I would pay serious money for. Well done Dordy, a credit to you. Cheers Dave ;)
-
I'm just chuffed I got through to the final 5 - thanks loads.
I am feeling just the same the bike was never built to win trophies just as a tribute to Mat Hoffman & to have a occasional ride on so far the original owner Darren Glaggit,Amatuer vert winner in the masters Paul Meacher & Jerry Galley have all ridden it with some verve (6ft airs from Jerry at the barn) Next stop is the Masters in Germany next year to sse if the man himself (Mat) would care to ride it heres hoping.
Thanks for the votes to get this far everyone.
Very humbling
:daumenhoch:
-
One of my three got through too the last five.
It got the first vote of my three.. Carls Mongoose
-
:-\ Feckin hell i cant do it im stuck on 3 bikes and i feel really bad ??? Im gonna have to think hard about it :idiot2:
-
i think they all look great :4_17_5: youve all done top jobs dan.

Dordy, get that bloody lump of a crank off your alu frame, who cares about the rubber, get that crank replaced.

Far from trying to sway people's decision :daumenhoch: here's a little something I got my hands on to go with the DeCoster :smitten:
Check out the man himself DeCoster and his shirt

i had a pair of roger decoster motocross boot with my first ever motorbike.
was about 7 or 8.
a little italjet bike.
the boot were to big for me at the time.
i walked like i was on the moon.
still remember the big chrome protector on the front on them just like in that picture.

fantastic bikes and everyone should be proud of themselves. black with gold ripper, perfect :smitten:. dordy that is an inspiration :daumenhoch:
jimmyp get over it son :2funny:

To be fair on Bren he was one of the judges at MK last year and had to decide on the best bikes in a show that had a lot of great bikes to choose from. To judge that kind of quality you need to have an eye for detail and Bren knows what he's looking at. No disrespect to Daves bike, which is very nice, just not perfect to the nerd's eye view :police:
DeCoster for me :daumenhoch:
-
Suppose if where being picky.. should the decoster have ame cam's?

Thats what it came down to for me, i can pick (very minor) faults with all of the builds with the exception of Mark's Condor. Era correct and completely perfect!

I was a judge at Alan's OS meet in Warrington in 2002, there were some amazing bikes there (a few of which are probably owned by RAD members) and they gave the win to a rusty fookin Burner!! At least that won't happen this time!
I met Hal Marshman there too and he was a great bloke! (not sure if Bill was there!)

oldest small bike instinctively ::)

Suppose if where being picky.. should the decoster have ame cam's?
Well spotted Lee, and while 'winner's circle' grips would have been an option I preferred cams and they are era correct, just about. Aeromarine Molding and Engineering bagan back in 74 and changed their name to A'ME Manufacturing Inc in 1975 and cams were one of their earliest grips a couple of years after that. The irony was they were 10 times harder to find than the winnner's circle alternatives and I could only find source them from the US. ???

Well done to the winner ;) ;) ;)

Well done Dordy, yours was always the bike that was in the lead in both polls :daumenhoch:
It might be worth pointing out that this was not a `show and shine`type contest where every thing had to be era correct ect. but simply a poll to find out the favorite bike built in 2006 as voted by the members of the site :daumenhoch:
-
good lad dave well deserved :4_17_5:
-
Don't mean to kick anything off, but....
As has been pointed out, the finished item is what it is all about. I will come clean and say that for me it is all about the presentation of the bike along with the back drop / location and clear pictures. As such I voted for the FA-F, Hutch Trick and Jazz's machine.
Dordy's PK has won fair and square, but (and not knocking the bike - i'd prefer it with gold post and stem).
However, it is shown without correct tyres, the wrong caliper (does not fit, and can not be ridden) and also SX pedals (no one ran those bitd), so for me I have to disagree with what Bike Of The Year means.

best thing to do mr greentoad is put a bike in yourself.
build it how "YOU" think the bike of the year should be.
then after "YOU" have spent a few quid on bits that "YOU" like and have somebody take piss out of it.
you'll know what it feels like.
-
Congratulations Dordy :4_17_5: well done mate a real Pretty bike.
I agree its your bike how you would build it bitd so enjoy the spoils mate.
Happy new year :daumenhoch:
-
Yep I have to agree here.. It's about the bikes, it's about personality, too much is put on the era correct thing for me.. We all love these bikes & so what if it's got the wrong tyres a different stem, what ever, what ever, is it really that important if the end product is this pukker.. :rant:
The result proves it's not all about 401's and Comp III's, etc, etc . . .
Hopefully next years vote will be less critical and more fun :daumenhoch:

well done dordy, great visual impact bike. which is why it won........ :4_17_5:.......my vote would have helped too :2funny:
-
great visual impact bike.
You are spot on, a visually pleasing bike, which is why it had my vote. Well done Dordy. :daumenhoch:
-
cheers lads :daumenhoch:.
-
well done Dave , you deserved it . Black and gold Pk Ripper :smitten: although I have to admit that I mised the voting of round 2 :idiot2:
looking forward to seeing your next one... ;)
well done to all of the entrants , they are a great reflection on this site and good motivation to actually finish my own old school build .
phil
-
just for the record.
dave you one piece crank having ginger wonder. No way that out shone the DeCoster.
Well done dave, and a happy new year mate. :daumenhoch:
-
Well done dordy and all entrants, the quality of build by RAD memebers is 2nd to none (especially the yanks!!)
Why all the moaning on here?????? Era correct, opc's, etc, etc I actually voted VDC purley for rarity value not becuase of high end parts. but...
As has been said before this vote was about what people on this here where feeling, and as much as fully appreciate era correct and high end parts, they don't always make the flashiest bike.
Oh yeah and btw, HAPYY NEW YEAR you pissed up old farts!!! :) ;) ;D
-
Congratulations Dordy a stunning looking bike, and its going to be my inspiration for a ripper build this year hopefully (god this is gonna be an expensive year ::) )
BOTY for me is all about the looks of the bike nothing to do with visual presentation of backdrops pic quality etc, lets face it we aint all david baileys are we :-\
For me the Condor was a great story and the resurrection and transformation was stunning a great story
The VDC is my fave bike of them all
But the ripper is the bike i remember staring at in the BMX shop way back then drooling over the frame and forks sat there in the middle of the front window always wondering would i get one...and no i didnt.
Stunning bike which looks in my opinion better than anything about today and pretty much anything BITD :4_17_5:
-
Well done Dordy Dave - a lovely build mate. Well deserved for the bike and 'cause you are a top top chap.
I'm with Bill, it's all about how a bike 'feels' not whether the inner tubes are correct...that's how we judged at both the Epic show n shines. Some bikes just do it for ya...you know the ones that look like they were actually ridden bitd...
But really, it's all about personal preference, there's no right or wrong ffs. Me, I voted for the Condor; it's very rare (the only mk1a I know of), it has history, it's still ridden and the love, time and research that went in to it was awesome. Oh, and I love a Hoffman!
But I still love Dordy's build, I remember when I saw it for the first time at Epic - sweeeet.
Stay rad.

wilko tyres and all!!
see it aint just me ;D.
im starting a new trend :daumenhoch:.
-
Well done Dave. A great looking bike.
-
there's no way that ripper should have won - the seat is half inch too high
-
wa hay the best bike won :4_17_5:
WELL DONE DAVE U DIRTY LITTLE PIKEY!
-
and the front tyre looks like it has the wrong psi
pchaw.
-
Well done Dave :daumenhoch: Superb build
The irony was I about to enter my NOS black and gold ripper, but didn't get cables in time!!
well deserved, it does look the cats knackers
And a quick thank you to everyone that voted for my DeCoster, much appreciated, I was over the moon to see it had reached the final 5 especially cos competition was very strong this time :daumenhoch:
-
your decoster is a dope bike, jazz
you gotta be proud of that.
-
I am thanks Mr Ruler, it was after seeing some of those early era builds from Reiley1
Thanks for the praise though
-
i voted for the ripper - stunning
but
given two photo's one with a good backdrop/well taken photo and one with a bad one i think, if it was exactly the same bike that the one with the better photo would win
-
FFS
How does one begin. I get critisim for pointing out a few facts, I did not once say that the bike did not win fair and square, did not take the pi$$ either, and get treated like a ****.
I was only pointing out that for me BOTY is about a complete package that is 'era correct' and has to be the best in all aspects.
BOTY means Best Bike in the World for that Year - as Voted for by RAD members (and I would have thought old school rides as that is what we are into)!
If you enter any item in any competion you should be able to take constructive comments, you win some, you loose some, and that is the fun of taking part....... that's the way it is.
I would also like to state that I am not jealous and did not put the bike down in anyway (I did state some facts about some components) - but did say that for me it would look better with gold post and stem.
One minute it is how can Rad get more members, then people are burnt / flamed / or put down for sensible comments. Is it hardly any wonder that loads of old collectors don't join and existing ones leave!
I will still stick with my original comments and will back it up with a few good facts - the bike won two awards this year, was a resto carried out by Dan and has only had very minor changes since Dave took it on!
Congratulations of course go to Dave, but why is there so much bitching and crap talk on sensible topics?

Greentoad, I agree, too much bitching. Your comments were sensible and constructive. I voted for daves ripper, perely on the "eye candy" factor, nothing else. Its very hard to determine if its a good or bad build just from a photo, I have bought a couple of bikes just from photos which loked blinging only to find they were crap.
There was some good bikes entered and I feel the right bike won it.
I entered a period correct bike, with everything as polished as possible. but its hard to do a bike justice with photos. Perhaps bike of the year should be decided by vote at Milton Keynes, then we all get a chance to see the bikes in the flesh!!! and vote accordingly.

Jezza , I'm not sure I'm understanding your message . Do you mean a lot of people won't be at MK 07 ? , I think you'll be surprised ! . I think there was approx 170 votes for boty , most of the voters & others will be there I reckon :daumenhoch: . I know that there were regrets from members in 06 that they did'nt go after seeing all the pics/hearing all the stories ! lol .

i think Ratty's idea is a good'un, some of the bikes pics no doubt didn't do em justice, !
As for last year's MK turnout, it was fantastic, EVERYONE who has a RAD Membership SHOULD go in 2007 ! No excuses !
One point also, is that we have over 1800 members, so why were there so few votes in for the BOTY by comparison ? The hard core of actually weekly/daily contributers is slim compared to the members list, where are the others??
...just off to Wilko's to get some copy comp 4's ! :LolLolLolLol:

not everyone here can see em in the flesh. hang on, send me a return ticket (Qantas of course) and i'll pop over , stay at your joint, drink all yer pi$$, mate with some locals, check the bikes over, vote, then bugger off back here. first class of course and best of all everyone here has a year to save up for me ticket. thanks fellas :daumenhoch:

Yep, theres always a problem with my ideas, you do actually need to be able to travel to vote!! Australia is a little bit of a journey to vote, perhaps a proxy vote is in order for members who live outside the UK!!! Otherwise, no excuses!!! :daumenhoch:
-
the mk thing sounds a good idea to me too.
you cant beat seeing the bikes in the flesh.
was a resto carried out by Dan and has only had very minor changes since Dave took it on!
dan did get the frame and bars painted top notch before i got it.
but the only bits i kept on the bike was the frame/fork/bars/wheels/chaindisk and pedals....oh and the tyres lol.which have also been changed.
so not what my pocket would call minor changes to the rest of it.

Whats this wilko,s everyone keeps banging on about ? i,ve never heard of em ,are they a bmx shop or what :)

I think it refers to "Wilkinsons" a chain of stores that sell all sorts of cheap stuff household and otherwise including some reasonable Comp 3 Copies.

Not good to ride, but fine for a budget build.
