Show us your Skeppi!

There is no question that Skeppshult produce high quality bicycles with that unmistakable Scandinavian design people love. Ultimately however Skeppshult build bicycles that are designed to be ridden. With that in mind we have come up with our new competition.

We want you to send in pictures of your "Skeppi" taken at your favourite spot. Don’t have a Skeppshult bicycle? If you hire a Skeppshult bicycle from the Mud Factory then you will be able to enter since you did have a “Skeppi” for a day. It could be a picture along your favourite bike path, at your special beach, outside your regular cafe or even in front of a famous local landmark. We want to see how you use your bike, even if it's just to pick up the mail at the end of a long driveway. The photo can be of you and your "Skeppi" or just the bike by itself. At the end of each month we will judge the pictures you send in and the one we like the best will receive that month's prize. Scroll down the page to see the winning entries.

Everyone who enters the "Show us your Skeppi!" competition will receive a reprint of an original classic Skeppshult poster (40cm x 30cm) from the early 1950s or a Birgitta Lindeblad postcard (15cm x 16cm). Birgitta has a fantastic sense of humour and is famous for her curvaceous ladies and capturing the feelings of the west coast of Sweden.
