Contest Prizes, and Audax 200K Preparations

(See the post from 5/4/10 for Audax 200K details)

The Great and Weird Road Dragon Bike Contest

Here they are, the Grand Prize (still a work in progress) and the First Prize.

Pay Attention!  This is one possible "donor frame"

And here's another...

 These are some of the "goodies" that will make this a real ride

You will notice that the Grand Prize shows two different frames.  No, there are not going to be two bikes.  But rather, I will finish the frame that is appropriate to the winner.  That means the winner gets to pick which of these frames will be finished out as a fixie/singlespeed.  There is a lot of appeal either way this project goes.

As for the First Prize, that’s an Origin8 Black Ops Scout.  It’s a rigid 29er, with Avid disks.  The bike is suspension-ready, for those who just have to have a shock.

There’s still time (barely!) to enter (and win!) this contest…  But you are going to have to hurry!  Prizes will be announced on Bike to Work Day.

Want to know how to enter?  I’ve put this up enough times.  Start looking through the back posts on this blog.  You should be able to find everything you need.  Good luck and good hunting!

 Preparing for this weekend’s Audax 200K?  Mostly you should be resting.  Oh yeah!  And you should be contacting me, right now!!!!  It’s real, and it’s happening this coming Sunday.  That’s 16 May 2010.
