I know as a non racer/non member that I probably shouldn't stick my oar in but.........does size really matter?
I used to sell trophies and HATE those big tacky plastic ones.
The only trophy I'd ever win in a bike race is the one for slowest rider, but I have the odd one or two for target shooting, and they are mainly small medals and engraved glass tumblers, but all are good quality and I'm proud to have them..........tucked away in a drawer.
You chaps who win and get placed in races have amazing skills which most of us can only guess at and must have worked very very hard and overcome many obstacles to achieve your results.
At the end of the day you have achieved a result to be proud of and surely the trophy should be a mere token, something to inspire a thought or memory of times past. It sounds to me as if your organisers have gone for quality rather than brassy plastic. I know which I'd rather have.
Just an alternative view.
