The idea is topical and humorous. It would effectively disqualify me though, as I live a bit out in the sticks, and the only road into town is a death wish ride for cyclists. Not to mention that there are only two of us here, and tp is something we won't need to buy for a while. Maybe if this portion adds a bonus, rather than being a requirement?

Also, would be looking for guidance on the bicycle. I have several unfinished projects, but they aren't created equal. For example, I have an RRA that I'm close to getting back on the road. I purchased it last fall, and have built it new wheels, gotten an rhm saddle for it, etc. All told I have over $400 into it, so clearly, that wouldn't be on an even playing field with (to pick another project), a 1970-ish 5-speed Sports that I bought for about $30.00 over two years ago and haven't put a dime into since. I see details about the acquisition of the entrant to at least be offered as guidelines.

Sound like a fun idea, and I'm eager to join in, even though I'm not exactly concerned about "winning", since any bike that gets built and ridden is satisfaction in itself.
