    Hi everyone, here is a list of 10 reasons why you should consider voting for my bike design in the Project One Trek Bike competition.

    BTW, my bike is the black/grey/blue one with the name “Greg Whitton” 😀

    1. Nobody else has pleaded for your vote that I know of…yet, that makes me a pioneer, a visionary. You should always back a visionary.
    2. I’ve not been riding long, but I love it, I might just stick around here. More members = more stimulating conversation, everybody wins!
    3. I’m a fat lad at the back of the pack, this bike might make me faster (and fitter), therefore there is more likelihood I can share the pain at the front, I’ll be able to do my time in the wind (this helps you!).
    4. It’s black…black is cool, cool today, cool tomorrow, cool forever. So cool in fact, you’ll want to come ride with me, and folks who ride with me get cake, espresso and/or ale.
    5. To prove I’m a noob, I went for the standard wheels, I should have gone for better wheels like those guys who are currently winning. Clearly I need your help.
    6. Back to the black theme, did I mention it was cool? Let’s face it, deep down, you want to ride a black bike too, even if it is unoriginal.
    7. I knew enough to know that my tyres, bar and saddle should all be the same colour and I will never ever mount a pump to the frame! See, there is hope…
    8. For every vote you cast for a competitor, a puppy dies, fact.
    9. Chris Froome liked my design best, he said it should win (this cannot be verified and may not be true).
    10. Asking politely for your vote on here does not appear to contravene the rules nor the spirit of the competition (the judges don’t read this do they?).
    11. I never stop at 10, I always go to 11…or 18 as I only have Sora.

    Cheers folks…don’t do it for me, do it for the puppies. 😉

    Wow, yeah, I just tried it and it worked. I logged out an was able to record a couple more likes. Oooh! Dave, can you make it so that only people who are logged in can record a ‘like’? wow… 🙁

    Never for a minute did I think it would get shortlisted :O . It just doesn’t meet the ‘wow’ factor needed to win something like this.

    Just sent a vote your way mate. Agree with everything you say, same here, I designed a bike I want to ride with good components. I still think it looks great but folks seem to love those aero rims. Never mind, will keep plugging away, think I’m losing friends on Facebook and Twitter now, lol.

    Cheers, likewise. Lovely looking bike BTW B-)

    I’ve not gone to town with the media campaign as realistically I was never in with a chance. I asked at work for colleagues to put a vote in but it became problematic as we are behind a proxy and it logs via IP address it seems. So buggered there then unless I start doing some dodgy manipulation – which isn’t gonna happen.

    People cannot vote once a
    People cannot vote once a day, as soon as you press like, that is it

    What you can do, that I am disappointed to see after I just checked it.

    Wow. The power of Twitter. I wonder what would happen if you REALLY put some effort into your tweets:

    Maybe 500 votes per hour?


    That isn’t my account, Try Breezerg00d (those are zeros in the good btw). I have another account aswell which has more follows, but is manly used for something else.. so, yeah

    Fair play to you. Whatever you are doing it is certainly working.

    450 votes taking you from 9th to 3rd place in 24 hours and now less than 200 behind the leader. If your fanbase keep voting like that you are definitely going to win.

    Enjoy.

    This sounds like the Autumn photograph competition instagram fiasco all over again! Unless you design some gaudy monstrosity you might not get a look in.

    Currently leading entry: Gaudy. Like, really really. :&
