1st Place: Madd Hammer (68 votes)

by Monster Metal - Final Build Pics
2nd Place: DevilWing (65 votes)

by Joey Mac - Final Build Pics
3rd Place (tie): Pay It Back (41 votes)

by Karfer67 - Final Build Pics
3rd Place (tie): Maldwyn the Flying Merkel (41 votes)

And of course...the finished bike threads:

It was a lot of fun to be a part of the competition, and a great honor to have my bike included amongst so many awesome rides. And an even greater honor for my bike to come in second place
Cheers to all the bike builders, everyone wins… an awesome bike!

holy moly the Madd Hammer evokes memories of old 30's Oil-in-the-frame Ford tractors

I liked the Madd Hammer. He actually posted some video of it as well. Seems like there's a rear suspension built into that, which is not obvious at first glance.
My Snake Farm bike was part of that build-off, and actually got a vote, which was very cool.
