Bike of the year 2007

[billstup]

Right start entering your bikes for Bike of the year 2007, we want a photo and a breakdown of the parts, but a photo will do if your lazy.

What we`ll do this year is the same as last year, get all the bikes entered, doesn`t matter what it is as there can only be one winner, and we`ll vote on them and the bike with the most votes in its make, haro for instance, will go forward to the final round, and then we can vote on the best of the finalists.

You have untill the 20th December to get your bikes entered, then we`ll start the voting, one bike per member only though, and before you start to get your wife to sign up so you can enter another bike remember that it would split the votes between the bikes and you may end up getting nothing 

Good luck 


Voting has started, just go here :

Jason Jensen Torker

One of a kind bike featured on the April 1981 Bicycle Moto-cross Action cover and described in more detail within the magazine in which I had an article too!  This bike was so aesthetically correct and blew me away!

Years later I had parts from all my years of biking including a Torker mini frame and fork. What a great anniversary present to see if I can build this guy exactly as the bike appeared, down to the zip ties! After two years of finding the Shimano hubs and Laguna bars it was time to build.

Everybody has really enjoyed the bike and to my surprise Jason Jensen heard about it and contacted me.  He was really stoked to see it alive again since he had most of his BMX items stolen out of a storage area.

Well here's the bike that Juicy Jaws and Bob Osborn made famous!!!  Enjoy!!!
