Unprecedented amounts of interest in this one, and some very interesting bikes y'all are riding out there. We'll put them all into a big spreadsheet or pie chart or something when we've got a bit of time. That's not now though, what with our Fantasy Tour de France game requiring our attention and the road.cc randomiser blinking and bleeping in our ear. Ah, it's stopped bleeping. What's that you say, randomiser? An eighties football legend is walking away with the prize?
That's right! step forward Luther Blissett (not, judging by the email address, the actual real Luther Blissett). You're our winner!
Commiserations to those of you who have missed out this time but don't forget you can win £300 of Rose Bikes cycling kit at the moment right here, and there's also the just-unwrapped Fantasy Tour de France game with a £600 KHS road bike up for grabs for the best Directeur Sportif out there. And more schwag on the way! Stay tuned...

Bike Week approaches, seven days of celebrating cycling in all its forms, so what better way of doing just that than by winning a truly cool frameset designed to give you ultimate cycling versatility - the Kinesis Tripster. All you've got to do is tell us what bike you ride in the comment field below, if you've got more than one bike you only need mention your main one (you can list 'em all too if you want though).
The Tripster is designed to be fast, precise and adapatable – in fact that's the motto on the top tube. This is a supremely versatile frame made from double butted 7005 series aluminium that can be built up loads of different ways and will do the business whatever role you build it up for.
You can set it up with 700c wheels and drops, or as a 26in wheeled machine with slicks, or as a all terrain commuter/weekend racer with 700x33 cross tyres. Or any combination of the three that suits. Pretty much any way you build it up the Tripster makes an ideal fast commuter, the design is based on the highly successful Kinesis Crosslight frames but with some commuter friendly touches such as a slightly taller head tube for a more upright traffic-scoping riding position.
Our lucky winner gets the choice of either an Aqua Blue or Supergloss Black frameset in a size to suit and to make you look even more the part there's some Decade Ts in the mix too, all courtesy of our friends at Upgrade. If you want to get an idea of what you can do with it check out our other Tripster gallery.
Cos it's such a good prize we'll be running it through Bike Week and we'll pick the winner at tiffin time next Friday (25th), Usual Schwag Grab Rules apply, and remember all you have to do is comment and tell us what bike you ride… why? Well, we're just nosey really plus road.cc is supposed to be a site for all types of cyclists who ride on the roads and we want to find out how we're getting on.
To can find out more about the Tripster and the Decade range of bikes visit the Kinesis Decade website http://kinesisdecade.co.uk/

Today I'm on the Orbit Harrier, because the Pompino needs two wheels built, I've got too much stuff to ride the Pinarello and the other two are stuck in a corner.

Trek 1.9 2009 model. Commuting seems like a bad idea on such a beautiful machine
Ridgeback Solo for commuting, lovely riding steel framed singlespeed, and Cannondale Synapse for long mile munching weekend rides.
Rusty old Giant, mostly commuting and winter riding.
Litespeed for triathlon.

I ride a Cotic Soul and I am taking delivery of a Trek Pilot 2.0 WSD on Friday for some road riding fun.
Forgot to mention, I also ride a Fuji fixed.
A Ribble Audax for road touring duties
I ride a Litespeed Avior
mostly a cube Agree GTC Race. On nice days the BMC gets a look in (the one i used on the road cc night race), but this is England, so in reality I hardly ride it cos I'm so precious about it!
Specialized Hardrock PRO
An old Trek 1000, I have other bikes but this gets ridden all the time as it is just simply fun.
Heavy duty all road bike in the style of a Surly LHT, made from a 1990s Saracen hybrid frame and bunch of begged, borrowed but not stolen parts!
Brian Rourke customised Scuro frame, Campag Record 11, PHIAN C5 carbon wheels
Beautiful bike
Cervelo S3 on dry days, Cervelo R3 on wet days......
I ride a Merida s'presso 500 around town and a '631' framed tourer built up for me at my local bike shop, just swopped the drops for 'Butterfly' bars plus MTB brake levers, front mech and rapid fire shifters.
Very pleased with the end result, makes for more comfortable riding positions, personally.
no more cross bike, so ribble...
My Raleigh chopper.
Niall, 59
The daily ride is a egg-shell blue Kona Honky Tonk, the weekend ride (when not riding the Kona) is a black/carbon Cannondale Synapse Carbon.
The Decade would make a great cross bike.
My daily commuter is a stumpjumper from 1987 and i ride an old FSR or a 70's columbus and campy road bike for giggles
today I be riding my Giant Anthem
