It is honestly too hard to pick a winner out of these two. It was quite interesting and enjoyable though, to read about each build’s custom requirements and to see how they turned out.

Good job to all the guys involved in these bikes.

The one on the right looks way too much like a Ritte paintjob. Nice builds though.

While they’re both nice, I think the Parlee is the winner.

I think you should add a short description to each bike in the survey, in case people get Alchemy as the first option, but see Parlee as the first picture.

Something simple like the green one and the blue one.

“Voting is open to anyone in any location, but winners must be residents of the United States of America”… Is that silly or not? 🙁

@yesPlease, I was unaware that Ritte owned the rights to the colors of the belgian flag. The Parlee has cool subtle touches that I like. The Alchemy is a little too loud…and this build-off had too many set parameters.

What a waste of $$$ ! Money would have been better spent supporting youth racing or safety initiatives.

Don’t be such a bleeding heart, money is never wasted on art like this… and besides, as far as advertising dollars go this is proving to be money WELL spent for everyone involved.

No they don’t. Road bikes never need disc brakes.

I like the look of the Ritte, but could not find it listed as an option to vote for.
