How you can help

geometron for uplift, or the scott for day to day riding.

how did orbea get in their. ;0)
i seem to spend my life having my orbea bearings replaced..
and hammered chissled drilled out..

Can we have a none of the above in all the categories? None of those bikes would even make the long list of most desirable bikes of the year IMHO. Transition Spur for normal riding Deviate highlander for big days and holidays

I went for the Geometron but it was almost like voting in the general election, ie best of a bad bunch (not really a bad list but I don’t really lust for any of them).

Well I booked a demo on a G1 yesterday, and yes fearful of where it will lead. 10years out of the last Nicolai so should see me through to my mid 50s 😀

Can we have a none of the above in all the categories?

No. That would be awful, negative and, well… just a bit bloody miserable. You aren’t bloody miserable are you?

Every time I see a picture of the Atherton bike with its joins I just think of Kee Klamp.

what about a nice hardtail ? everyone loves a nice hardtail.

Desire, no yeti, no ibis, no pace, no Santa Cruz, no bespoke. Nearest I get to desire from this is for the love of Atherton’s even though I’m not a lug fanboy. You can’t please everyone I guess but am left wondering.

No skinny niche homegrown hardtail with a bling paintjob? What has the world come to!

Geometron.

Because I liked the Blue Bells in the picture 🙂

Surprised not to see the new Hope…

Spark RC gets my vote.

Sorry but I’m with most of the comments above.

Very uninspiring choice for me, and hence picked the Scott as the least bad option for me.

No bike lust there, sorry, but on the plus side credit card is safe.

Yep, rubbish list. I chose the gemetron but there would actually be sooo many more bikes i’d buy before that. Actually wish I’d gone for the Scott now…

I’m with ton as well, whay no HT? 2 enduro bikes and XC bike and a laz-E-bike….

All the folk saying there’s nothing they fancy, who did you nominate that isn’t there?
