Well done to the guys that did it make it, hats off to you all  

I wasn't sure what to vote on really, the complete overall cost at it's lowest, the overall look of the bike or the passion and in-genius thought that went into building it  

Anyways, I hope my vote reflects what 'budget build off' was about.

Happy Xmas to you all

[chubby]

only on winner for me......

[In2 bmx]

Vote in ...  great work guys

I could do with those dura ace cranks 

[Jon The Bassist]

I've voted but there are no losers in my mind, this is what building bikes is about for many enthusiasts

[deeman]

I think it could be safe to say that Clint has won his own comp!!The Batvus got my vote!did love Johns Shock too,it's a shame some of the other builds didn't materialise

Well said Jon, the whole idea of the comp was for a bit of fun and to try and capture the enthusiasm for the we love 
Would be nice to do one next year but i'm not sure there is enough interest

Depends if new/mid bikes are allowed? The 20" Supercross I'm building has cost about £90 so far and it's 2/3 done 

[oldschoolace]

The original thinking was that its fairly easy to build a new/ late mid school bike for the budget and it didnt make for much of a challenge 

[Jon The Bassist]

Good point.
I'll be happy just to beat a few of the more serious clipped-in riders on my bike built from other people's spare parts when I race it 

[oldschoolace]

Many thanks to the voters and those who entered. Chuffed to have won but i think there are no losers here. 4 great builds for relative buttons 

Ratty Pm me your address and i will get the runner up trophy out to you as soon as 
Also keep me posted on the raleigh shock 

Thanks again all
