About this data
Every setup on this site was collected and transcribed by hand. We track down the builds riders share on social media, mainly Instagram posts, and log them one by one into a spreadsheet. Manual work means the data can be incomplete, mis-transcribed, or simply out of date, so read these numbers as an honest portrait of what we managed to document, not as an official census.
