” Get a bicycle.  You will not regret it if you live. “  ~Mark Twain

People’s Bike is proud to announce the 1st Ghetto Fabulous Fixie Competition ! So here’s the deal . .

We want YOU to go build yourself a fixed gear bike, and use as little money as possible ! Really, the rules are that simple :

1. Build a fixed gear bike in China

2. Spend as little money as possible

3. Post your photos and documentation online ! (HERE)

Could it get any easier ? Probably not. You must post all your documentation and photos online by March 31st, and then we will judge your stories and finished products to determine a winner ! Here’s what we’ll be looking for, and how we will judge the submissions :

1. The complete price breakdown of the bike you built – keep it as cheap as you can !

2. Full documentation of where you bought all your parts, and how you put it together

3. The final quality of your fixed gear bike

4. The final appearance of your fixed gear bike

5. The stories and ideas behind your finished product

6. How ghetto fabulous is your new bike ??

See? Super simple ! The only minor details are that you must build this bike within China, and you must submit your creations by March 31st, 2010.  All submissions must be posted in our forum, HERE.  That means you’ve got to be a member on the forum to register !

Not sure where to start looking for parts ? Try checking out our Guides Section for a list of localized bike shops. This would also be a good place to start looking : Bicycle Graveyard

And finally, did we mention that there’s a sweet prize up for grabs ?? Yep, a limited edition ONEWAY Shanghai Alleycat Messenger Bag !! Check out these photos :

You’ve really got nothing to lose, so get out there and start building yourself a ghetto fabulous bike !! We look forward to seeing all of your submissions, and of course, if you have any questions just post them here on in the forum !!
