Duly corrected thanks
I meant Ibis with expensive studio shot photos and racing bike handlebars mmmm
I would copy and paste the images …but it looks like six other people have already yawn.

I say enter your bike if it fits the criteria. What's the worse that could happen?

And isn't it all about the taking part?

Not sure if you need somebody to root you on as Neil did, but you're being awfully disrespectful and screaming sour grapes already. You didn't even bother to look at it to see what the bike is. A "black European bike"?

For the record, I love Kleins, Rocky Mountains, and most all nicely built bikes that people are proud owners of and I would have given your bike a second glance but what a silly thing to say when you didn't even give that Ibis a first glance to read the decals on it and boo hooing that nobody would give your bike a second glance.

I wouldn't give his bike a second glance, probably not even the first one if truth be told.

Best off saving it for the 'Poorly photoed Rocky Mountain Altitude only, no racing bike handlebars allowed, no European bikes and no bikes I haven't heard of either' BOTM special month. I might look then

Haha brilliant
I havent been here five minutes and have entered this comp many times and with some beautiful rockys but the sad fact is that its a waste of time
As for badly photographed well yes a Nikon D80 in the hand is all I can muster, No hiring a studio for me
The ibis is nice but a diamond back axis photographed the same way woul look equally nice

Why is it a waste of time?

I don't get all this mithering and sniping about this - enter, or don't enter - but it's entirely fatuous to be arguing about why you won't enter. It's just a competition - enter and enjoy, or don't enter and enjoy - why does there have to be this drama?

I'm far from understanding why something that should be fun and enjoyment, has to be so divisive, such that it makes people comment like this?

I wouldn't give his bike a second glance, probably not even the first one if truth be told.

You just have the one vote, right?
