[Dave Rivbike]

I just posted on the blug but thought to repost here.

We're raffling off a custom frame to one lucky customer who places a $300+ order during December.

I wonder if they did a search of people with $300 or more of stuff in the wishlist or carts...

Cheers,

+1! Seriously. That is a smart and fun promo that I want to be a part of! And I like how the winner gets to know who he or she is so fast. That's so Rivendellian!

[William]

I've got a $301 cart sitting here.  Maybe I'll tell my wife that these are my Christmas presents!

[Joe Bernard]

Wow..that's an impressive promotion.

Do multiple orders count? I just placed a $200+ order yesterday...

It doesn't look that way. The rules state "any order over $300 in December." GP is usually pretty strict about contest rules.

I bought my cart!  
It was the Phil handcleaner that put me over.  I was down to just one or two handcleanings left.  Maybe I'll give the new tub to my Mom and let her put it in my stocking.  :)

[Jeremy Till]

Definitely was reason enough for me and my wife to put in an order!  Big rear rack for her upcoming tourer, and a small Trunk Sack for me.  

[Michael]

Wonder what the chances of winning are?

 Probably pretty good odds actually......I want decent wheels, especially a front Son 28 so my order should add up easily.

[Michael]

Maybe now's da time for dat extry 650b wheelset I have been wanting to git.

 

Let me tell you something...if you ride 650b, you need an extry wheelset, or at minimum - rims...no doubt about it. Unless you live within a decent radius of a 650b shop. Here in Ellicott City, MD, 'tain't convenient to git some 650b parts/wheels.

 

[Michael]

Let's see.........maybe a custom dark green/olive plaid pattern paint job with cream heatube and windows and epaulets......cream lug tracing, of course.

 

Anything less than lug tracing on a plaid custom would be...well....uncivilised.

 

Eyelets and braze-ons all around...safety tailight braze-ons on the bottom of the chainstays....pump pin...vertical dropouts...nary a lip...lotsa rake...

 

[RJM]

I would do a mountain mixte, 650 b able to handle Pancetti's Neo-Moto 2.3, cream headtube maybe that pea sage green or even the soma san marcos blue, heck, mabye even a sam hillborne orange. Alba bars, nice lugged stem, brooks select saddle, those new thinline pedals. 

 

Man, I need to make an order and get in on this drawing.

[cyclotourist]

That would be an awesome bike!

Boy, it's pretty easy to come up with $300 in my shopping cart, even though there's not a single thing I "need"!

If I won, I'd probably basically end up with a Roadeo fattened-up to hold me. With fancy paint, of course... My country and utility bike needs are pretty much covered already at this point.

I'd almost certainly end up with a slightly tweaked approximation of a canti-luki, or maybe a canti-roadeo.  

[Philip Williamson]

I'd do a version of that Mountain Fixie that was such a troublesome truck. Basically a fixed gear fool-around-in-the-woods bike. Able to take 60mm Big Apples and fenders, like a super-attractive version of my industrial-ugly Gravel Roadster. Flared drops. Threadless stem. Berthoud saddle, maybe? I like your mixte idea for standover/bailoff clearance. 

Maybe an Abele gray, black, or pea-sage green; something low-key for the woods. "Pencil" blue, maybe.

Gee! Not much time to think. I wonder if there's $300 of stuff I might like? ROTFL!?!!!

[Crazy4Suki]

Does buying a $300 gift certificate count?

[BSWP]

That would be a Mountain Fixte!

I'm looking at what I can justify, seeing if it will come to $300

- Andrew, Berkeley

[Matt Beebe]

This is such a great idea!     I hope it generates tons of sales so riv can keep bringing out the coolest ideas on wheels (and bags), and needless to say, whoever wins this is winning BIG time.

The "mountain mixte" and "mountain fixed gear" ideas sound cool.

Even a person who doesn't need anything at the moment should buy themself a $300 gift certificate.  Buy the $300 Gift Certificate, hand it to your wife and tell her "This is what I want for Christmas".  It's perfect!

[Joe Bernard]

Hmm..that's an interesting idea. If you win the frame, you spend the certificate on parts for it!

 

Joe Bernard

[William]

I already got my box of goodies!  

[BSWP]

That would also solve the problem where things one might wish to buy now, toward the raffle, are on backorder. Does anyone from RBW wish to clarify if a $300 gift certificate is acccepted as a raffle entry?

+1 on Andrew's query. Does a gift cert count?
Also, do you get the 5% rebate on gift certificates you purchase? (I'm pretty sure there's no rebate on GC's when you redeem them, but correct me if I'm wrong)

-Pete in CT

[William]

There's a miraculous new device, that enables real time verbal communication.  It's called the telephone.  :)

I called Riv for you guys, talked to Brian, and he confirmed that ANY December invoice that totals more than $300 gets your name in the hat.  Buy a $300 gift certificate today (or 6 $50 gift certificates or whatever) and you'll be in!

[BSWP]

I'll make sure the Mountain Fixte frame has a custom phone-holder braze-on. But been thinking, and I'm pretty sure any "my next bike" will have an IGH... now to see if there's yet an IGH that also features a robust lockout mechanism, to convert to fixed-gear on the fly.

Thanks for confirming what us too-lazy folk were speculating on.
