Selflessly offering my services

Following on from the excellent Neil Pryde thread, offering new free bikes to semi-pro or very good amateur riders (to do a bit of "The Apprentice" standard marketing :roll: ) is all well and good, but these guys will make up a small fraction of actual full price sales.
What they (and any other high end manufacturer who wants to participate) really need is to do the same with someone who can represent the novice, unfit, crap climbing and descending, limited experience of other bikes MAMIL demographic, who will make up the bulk of actual sales :idea: Just drop me a PM for my address and what days I'm around to receive a large parcel
So come on you good folks at Ridley, you really do need to know how slowly your nice X-Night WC machine will go around a cyclocross course without falling over sideways, and how the rear end crumple zone performs on impact from being lapped for the second time

No no, I insist I be given all freebies as I'm even slower. Also, if your kit can make me look good, it can make anyone look good!0

That's exactly why they don't need to choose you, as you pay them to tell us about their sh1te!!
