Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

SS/FG Photo Contest:Prizes!

OK, here's the deal. Over the 4th of July Holiday, you need to get good photos for a SS/FG 4th of July theme.. There will be 4 Titanium Memberships awarded for the top 4 pictures. If you already have a Ti membership and you win, you can gift the Ti membership to a deserving member if you so desire, or you can go to Paypal and cancel your current Ti Subscription so it won't recharge you, and take the Ti Prize, which will be a lifetime Titanium Membership for all 4 prizes.

The fabulous Judges panel will be me, Dannihilator, and our own Scrodzilla.

Contest Rules:
  1. The photo MUST be your own, and recent.
  2. The photo MUST meet the forum guidelines.....no skimpy clothed women, no underwear shots and no Natty Fabs, please. .
  3. The must be cycling related, and specifically, related to SS/FG.
  4. Points for artistic merit
  5. Photo Deadline is July 7, 2010

So, here's your chance to get rid of the ads and get a lifetime Titanium membership for free! Best of luck, and let's see those photos!

You don't need a fancy camera, just a decent eye and composition. Hey, enter something, ya never know! You can't win if you don't play.

It's on (although my idea for 'Captain America in a thong' may not meet the guidelines). I think this is a great idea and a good way for some of us rabble-rousers here in SSFG to get upgraded memberships. Titanium status = cyber street cred.

Sweeeet, I'm in. I'll take my bike to our town's annual firework show. I just hope I won't look like a freak taking pictures of my bike in the middle of a crowded street.

You can submit one. Any others will be ignored, for the purposes of the contest. Make the first one your best effort.

By the way. hey can be digital, or scans from film, either one.

I'd imagine it would be fine being that Artistic merit is mentioned.

I'm flattered. I have totally been lacking in the photography department lately.

You may want to sticky this, since I noticed that it's sort of fallen to the end of the forum.

Also, this may be a silly question, but what is the difference with a Ti membership?
