Custom Builder Tim Dixon Earns Top Honors at AIMExpo Championship of the Americas
AIMExpo’s Championship of the Americas (COTA) is arguably North America’s premier custom bike competition, serving as the ultimate showcase of the country’s finest builders. Adding to the prestige of COTA is its distinction as an automatic qualifier for the AMD World Championship of Custom Bike Building, which takes place at the Intermot Bike Fair in Cologne, Germany, every other year.
This year a total of 31 bikes were entered into COTA, from 24 different builders, with each entered into one of four classes –*Free Style, Performance Custom, Retro Custom, and Street Custom. Additionally, all attendees at AIMExpo casted votes to determine a*People’s Choice winner.
The Free Style class is the only division that is awarded the automatic qualifier for the World Championship, and features the some of the finest and most unique custom bikes, where innovation is rewarded.
