Bike of the Year 2019 - Time to vote!

Here's the big one folks. Sometimes you forget how many amazing bikes grace this competition over a twelve month period. It really is astonishing to see such a massive range of entries and all the effort that goes into preparing them. Because of a tie at the top in September we have 13 entries to choose from. In the event of a tie there will be a secondary vote to decide the overall winner - only one can take this crown. The poll will only run for 7 days so get your votes in without delay!

Re:

One man(tis) one vote

Re:

Pine Mountain followed by Lobster, by San An.

Re:

San Andreas for me. Some stella machines so top work all round.

when you review the years winners, apart from some obvious exceptions, there's a lot of plain janes, good builds, nice bikes but a lot of understatement that I don't really recall from bitd. tastes have... largely matured I guess.

...and no Ti making the grade. Weird.
