26 miles and many steep Welsh hills.

14 mile last night and 26 today with some monster climbs. Love this thing already.

An excellent illustration of linear development; it should be in a geography text book.

Most pics are rejected, but if you were to upload that to the EMBN Show surely it would get on the next episode - if not, I'll have no future confidence in their selections! lol

 

[CH61S]

Cheers guys. I'll send it over to embn and see if it makes the cut.

And have you actually managed to achieve what no one has done before and depict what the bike really looks like? Because the unusual thing about this bike is that everyone seems to say that it's had some strange other-worldly paint applied to it - a paint that looks rubbish when photographed, yet great when seen with the naked eye. But you've managed to both photograph it, and have it look great!

All Vitus's look rubbish on their website, I dont know who they use for photos but its like the try and make the bikes look as bad as they can, they always look a lot better in the flesh.

Super Nice!

Depends how picky they are being - none drive side photo, cranks not level, and tyre logos not level

 

[R120]

[Fatbap]

Need to get a dog in there too ? ?

Had assumed they'd dismiss out of hand this snap I took of my bike, but from some of the comments above maybe it has some elements of what they're looking for after all so could take a punt .... shows the right side but concerned the drivechain is a bit too much in shadow for them

You should submit that just to see what happens, but I suggest adding this

Hahaha. Tell you wot, I hereby relinquish all rights to my "photo", so feel free to give it a try lol

 

[CH61S]

So far no word off EMBN, but it did make it onto the Vitus Instagram page.

 

[WildGuy]

Analysis of one of the latest pics to feature confirms @Beekeeper's insight and suggests its significance may be even greater than we previously figured. Conversely, although I think it does still need to be retained, the bike's less so. Kinda feels like we're chasing a moving target here, but I did get another shot the same day that could meet their revised specifications.

Stick a Specialised sticker on it then it will get chosen.

Well that's just bleedin fantastic innit, yet more requirements come to light - no wonder it's so freakin hard to get on there.

Wasn't sure if you meant the dog or the bike so thought better play it safe.

 

[WildGuy]

Ok, my wife managed to get us on - so it seems the previous speculation was incorrect and you can get on without a dog, and without a Specialized sticker, and without non-level cranks and tyre logos ( the non drive-side question wasn't tested though ). For anyone else having a punt bear in mind though that there may be some sexism at play, because my wife sent them 3 photos and the only one that they didn't use is the one below featuring her, which as she made the submission seems a tad unfair!
