We have a winner! Ultimate Schwag Grab! Win a Trek 7.3 FX worth £400*
Right, tiffin has been taken and the random number generator has done it's thing… it was a great ride while it lasted and we'll have to do it again VERY soon, but for now we have a winner… maci234 the bike is yours.
According to his profile maci234 doesn't have a bike at the moment either so the random number generator truly did it's work well, so long as you ride it, and we'll be checking. As soon as we get back from Eurobike it'll be going in a box and heading your way to Scotland. Enjoy it.
If you missed out, read on to see what you would have won had the random number generator picked you. A Trek FX 7.3 flat barred commuter guaranteed to get you around town and beyond in the finest of styles courtesy of some cool Bontrager finishing kit.
Our prize bike is a never been ridden** 20in model - so ideal for those from around average height to verging on the tall – 5ft 8in and up.
The usual rules apply with a couple of slight tweaks this time out, as ever simply comment below to enter - one comment per person thank you (anyone entering more than once will have all their entries deleted).
As this is a biggie the tweak is that we'll be keeping it open until Friday 28th OR until we have 399 comments (So tell your friends) - the draw will be at tiffin time either on the Friday or when we hit the magic 399.
The other tweak is that the prize is that we'll only post the prize to UK residents - anyone else can enter, but if you live anywhere else in the world you'll have to come and collect it yourself… we gotta eat y'know.
* Okay, £399.99

Owt for nowt us Yorkshire men are as tight as thi come!!
YAY!!! B)
B) PERFECT PRIZE, COUNT ME IN PLEASE
It has to be free bikes FTW!
Nice for the wife, especially since she's just had number 2 daughter today, and is already wanting to get back to fitness!
count me in!
Count me in please!
I would love it. Particularly given the trouble I'm having with a certain bike shop in SW London not being able to build and deliver a bike as promised last Thursday
Yes please!!
heads up and fingers crossed for Mrs Radar please
My girlfriend needs this -- her current bike feels like it's made of cast iron but her plan seems to be to ride it until it rusts to death
perfect size
yes please!
OK then I'm in, anything for a free bike.
My wife would love a new bike!
A win would make it a pair...count me in, please
B)
Flat bars or dropped count me in its a proper bike
A new hybrid for Mrs. Pierre, just in time for autumn / winter commuting. That would be ace.
: P
Oh yes pleeeassse! B)
Very nice
I'd like this bike for the next time Lance tweets a UK group ride or just to get me to work instead of my 1980 Raleigh. Cheers
Rats. I was looking forward to very slowly building a bike from a lifetime of Schwag Grab winnings. I suppose if I won you could disassemble the thing and post it to me, bit by tantalising bit.
(And I'm average height, but width is somewhat above the norm)
Please count me in, it would save my bacon.
i will have some of that thank you
Me! Me!
Gosh that was rude. I didn't even say please. Tut.
As a gentleman of above average height (6ft) the 20" would do well.
Free bike! Go on then...
Wow! Superb!
Please send me one so I can work off all these exclamation marks.
The perfect size!
Two legs good, two wheels better.
(With apologies to Orwell).
Wow! Me and the wife could finally have matching bikes!
