Embryonic idea.
Londonfgss Top trump cards - (I am not sure how many in a pack but I will guess 50?)
50 people here submit their bikes (image + specs) each person pays £20 for the pleasure of having his or her bike in the top trumps pack. (£1000 straight up).
One of the many designer folk here knock up the artwork out of the goodness of his/her heart - (basically one design for the back of the card and one for the front - then all the details filled in for all the bikes - not too much work, I could do it fairly easily)
£1000 is used to print up a number of these packs - I have no clue how many £1000 might buy you and at what quality? But I will suggest that you should print at least 50 - as everyone who has their bike included would probably want a pack - I would grab two or three :)
If you know how Top trumps works the specs should be competitive (or potentially competitive), gear inches, weight, brakes v brakeless, arropokability and so on.
Would be fun, I might even enter two bikes !!!
(all the figures above are arbitary)
Obviously £1000 won't get you a posh molded plastic pack like this, but a cardboard sleeve might be within budget.
