Right now, am probably not going to enter. Just had an order recently and while there are a few things that pique interest, not enough stuff to make a required minimum.
But - if I did and if I were to win - wouldn't take a custom. Would rather just get a 61cm Atlantis or maybe a Bombadil. Either of those bikes would suit my needs. Yes, while I'd like a 61cm 26" wheel Atlantis, it's too much against the whole Rivendell aesthetic to get something like that. And hopefully, it would save Rivendell a bit of cash which might be important.
