We have a winner! Schwag Grab! Velo-Re Tubelt Blue

The coolest use for an ex-inner tube ever! So who's won it?...

It is Tuesday isn't it? Oh. Moving on then… we have a winner for Velo-Re Tubelt Schwag Grab the stylish belt cunningly crafted from a retired inner tube. And the winner is:

Didge

All we need from him now is his address and it will be winging its way out of the road.cc offices and on to his trousers pretty damn quickly. Don't be too downhearted if you missed out this time - why not console yourself by popping along to the road.cc Showcase where you will fine an eye-catching selection of Velo-re's wares and there will be another fine Schwag Grab along soon

=======================================================================================================
Up for grabs is a Tubelt Blue so named for the fetching blue stitching. They're handmade from ex-bicycle inner tubes… but you'd never know they just look like a really cool belt, that says 28 x 1.75 on the back. Normally one of these babies, there's a choice of Blue, Red, Yellow or… Funky, would set you back a mere £35 from the road.cc Showcase where you'll also find other Velo-re belts made from recycled tyres. Check 'em out apparently it's Christmas soon.

One lucky person will get one for free though, all you've got to do is comment in below. We'll do the draw on Tuesday and usual Schwag Grab rules apply.

Good luck!
