The same thing happened to me with the Coca-cola win twenty grand a week competition. I never got my money, and you never see the winners exposed anywhere. It makes one suspicious..

Sorry nobody has been in touch with you, but posting this on the forum doesn't bring it as quickly to our attention as dropping one of us a direct e-mail would. Steve Medcroft is the person who arranged the competition - you can contact him directly at smedcroft@futureus.com

maybe someone from CN kept them for personal use .

If only you could see what I ride, you'd realise how funny and untrue this is! In fact the wheels are shipped directly from Easton to the winners - so they don't come near a Cyclingnews office at any point in the process.

Cheers
