Bigtwin Bikeshow Winners!

Bigtwin Bike Show 2013

By Bigtwin Magazine, The Netherlands

Last week Dutch Custom Bike Magazine Bigtwin held their international Custom Bike Show in the Autotron, Rosmalen in The Netherlands.

This year the Bigtwin Bikeshow saw just one class, in which all the Bikes participated. It’s so hard to put all the Bikes in seperate classes, sometimes a bobber is more like a chopper, a chopper could be an oldtimer as well as a chopper, new, so called ‘Fusion’ Bikes, with old frames and new engines are not easy to classify, and so on, so the organization of this year's Bigtwin Bikeshow decided to let the jury pick the five Best Bikes out of the 65 bikes that were in the show. Also a Best of Show -public's choice-, and Rookie of the Year were chosen.
