RBotM - OCTOBER - AUTUMN - Tie Breaker - 2 Day Poll!
After another great month with a very competitive field it came down to a tie break between myself (Jamiedyer) and The History Man, Mercian v's Overbury's.
As the Highlander said 'There can be only one' and hence the quickfire 2 day poll.
Self explanatory really, but to be clear; the poll will run for 48 hours with voting open to all members. results will be hidden until the end of voting.
Thanks again to all who entered the competition and to all who support it.

EDIT ****
Hello and apologies for the late withdrawal of the tie break poll.
It has been pulled after discussion both here and behind the scenes as there seemed to be a bit of confusion about whether it was about the bike or the autumn theme as well as other issues with it being a tie break rather than the usual draw declared. The theme of Autumn was maybe not thoroughly thought out by myself beforehand.
Due to these concerns as it was never something for people to get too serious about, the October RBotM has been declared a draw, after the original poll. This was discussed with The History Man himself so not a decision taken myself without consultation. (This is a democratic dictatorship after all )
So many thanks from myself and many congratulations to The History Man for his win as well Its also maybe no coincidence that two similar looking British racing Green, retro British bikes were evenly tied.
Thanks to everyone who entered, voted, contributed to the polls discussion and to all for their support. Cheers.
And as was mentioned in a discussion and I wholeheartedly agree with the fitting sentiment, its a bike competition, not a cure for cancer
