RULES.
First 5 bikes posted are the contestants.
After the 5th bike has been posted voting will start.
Voting will last 24 hours.
Winner chooses next bike type.
The Orange P7 is lovely however that intense plastic bike looks like my dog when it gets constipated, hunched up wi an arched back trying desperately to drop off a malteser, or even a chocolate peanut, i don’t care how good it rides but when it looks like that i’d throw a blanket over it.
This is not the way to run the comp. You need an “eliminator” thread first where everyone posts pics and votes. After 200 posts/week, those bikes that have been voted on go though to the 2nd round thread. The top 3/5 of that thread go to a finals thread,
I like sumafunks first picture best.
The first one is nice but I think it should have a slightly longer stem, and photoshop out the dropper seatpost cable.
I’d go with Somafunk’s – it looks like the kind of bike I’d have – the kind of bike you’d want to just pop out to the shed for a little look at to make sure it was ok (not with the rigid forks though).
apart form the naked loon with the big fox forks you mean?
to be fair, hardtail to me still means a fully rigid bike as that’s what proper mountain bikes are. none of the this new fangled minceyboingy frontage for the weak and limp wristed IT brigade. 😆

So what you meant to say is that a fully rigid bike is a proper mountain bike to you? That’s okay. I fail to see how that makes a rigid bike a hardtail though.
Why would you call it a hard “tail” if it’s all “hard”? The fact that you mention the “tail” implies that the front is “soft”. You wouldn’t call a full suspension bike a softnose, would you?

harks back to days of early ATB’s where you had rear suspension like this
