another great video. Dom's riding always makes me want to go out and ride. I like the whole 'just riding around and playing on what you find' vibe these videos have going on p.s. while i appreciate this little video andy...i hope there will be another big video fro his whole trip?

just me who see's this with round tubing on the rear end?

I can't understand the fixie hate for the create bikes, its a £250 bike, i don't expect big things. It came with a flip flop hub (allowing fixed or singlespeed), and if I am honest has been totally solid since i have had it. It gets me from A to B, and is useful for taking the dog out for a run. plus its a sweet colour What more does it need? RE the skye brake lever angle - matt got it spot on! I think it could be slightly shallower, however this seems to be the compromise between bashing legs off brake levers and wrist breaking bar angles...
-
i am surprised at ali's status about his wrist, it looked like his ankle (s) could have taken quite the bashing! Nice line though. bunnyhops to front are funtastic how you finding the brakes mark?

So that is it....competition deadline closed. 12 videos, a 1 in 12 chance of winning a video for the guys that have entered. I will write up a little post later on regarding the judges etc, and will hopefully have a wee response for you later on. Thanks for all the guys who made the effort to enter, slightly shocked we managed 12 though haha. Go to the first post for all the videos, feel free to discuss the videos, always good to hear everyones thoughts. -

Another video has been added to the first post... thanks to Matt and Aran for their entry. Matt also wrote a wee blog piece about the article so take a look over here; http://matt-barlow.com/blog/one-shot-one-angle-one-prize/ I notice that if Matt and Aran win then they will donate the frame as another prize in a different competition. -
You were so convincing until that statement! I'm pretty* sure they weren't a one off and he had several 24" tyres made for testing! *by pretty sure I mean 99%

I'd imagine the majority of the replies were mine Nick. Nevermind though, it just means better odds of winning a free frame . still 2 and a bit days to go though -

Evening Guys... I have made a conscious decision that, considering the terrible and seemingly unforcastable weather, that I am going to extend the deadline until 11.59:59secs pm on 17th February 2013... An extra week will give those who havent entered some more time to do so. This is definitely the last time I will extend it. If anyone does want to re-do their entry then they are welcome to do so. no problems with that just let me know of your updated video and I will post it up. Thanks to ALL the entries so far...greatly appreciated. Ben -

I don't really want to extend the date any further, but I will hold off and see if I get any more replies, however...if necessary, I may well be positioned to do so. Will see how things go, and hopefully better weather will be bestowed upon us....
