Design a bike and win a bike with IG London Nocturne and Foffa Bikes

Get your creative juices flowing and you could ride away on a new steed (here's one we did earlier)...

Think you know how to knock up a nice looking bike? Well here's your chance to prove it. Foffa Bikes, in partnership with the IG London Nocturne, have launched a competition to design a bike and the winner, picked on the night of the Nocturne, will get their bike made and delivered by Foffa.

What's more, it's easy! head over to www.foffabikes.com and use their handy bike designing tool to knock up your steed. Once you're happy with your bike design, all you need to do to be in the hat is upload it to the IG London Nocturne facebook page. You'll be up against some famous names, apparently, including Garmin-Barracuda's David Millar and Team Sky's Alex Dowsett, winner of the IG London Nocturne last year; we can't see Millar's design on there at the moment though so presumably he's playing his cards close to his chest on this one. Alex Dowsett's bike looks like this:

Think you can do better? Course you do. Get cracking then! Post production work in the graphics package of your choice is allowed if you're that way inclined. That's ours at the top. Beauty is in the eye, etc and so on.

Five entries will be shortlisted a week before the event, based on the number of likes each design receives on the site, so get your mates to like yours to be in with a shot of glory. One lucky winner will be picked on the night of the Nocturne at Smithfield Market, and they will have their own design, worth up to £1,000, built by the Foffa Bikes team and delivered shortly after the event. Prizes will also be awarded to the 2nd and 3rd places.
