  • Who fancies a 'Hora's next bike' sweepstake?

    Serious question this. And as a game its as random as a roulette wheel. You could actually apply some logic to a roulette wheel in comparison

    So here’s what we’ll do. To go for the next bike would be obvious as we know already where he’s pointing. So heres a suggestion. I’m going to pick a date over the next six months at random. Just like Hora seems to pick his bikes. I’ll hand that date to someone independent

    The aim is then for us all to hazard a guess as to what bike Hora is going to own on that random date. Which part of the full-suss/steel/hardtail/carbon/singlespeed/6 inch/singlespeed/Santa Cruz/Turner/On-one/1×10/fully rigid cycle he’ll be at. It could quite literally be anything!!!! Anything at all. Like I said: there is absolutely no logic!!!

    Only one entry per forum member. Closing date will tomorrow at this time. We’ll revive the thread on the random date to see who’s won.

    As I’m picking the random date, I’ll abstain

    Off you go folks………

    I personally think it’s best we don’t draw attention to Hora’s issues.

    How specific do we need to be?

    What’s he had so far?

    I reckon a Lapierre, no an Intense, no no no a Nicolai. Or maybe a nevermind.
    Seriously, he’ll not like the Intense 5.5 especially if he buys a medium.

    What’s the prize?

    He thinks the Turner’s head angle is too steep, so he’ll hate the Intense. However, this alone will not stop him buying one. The fact that I’ve got one will though. It’d be endorsing my choice of bike and is therefore out of the question

    Woppit – easier to ask what he’s NOT had before. Again: just because he’s already owned one, two even, this will not stop him buying one anyway

    Like I said: there is no logic at work here

    All of them.

    He;s started going back through the list now.

    I think the prize should be the chance to slap monkey boy accross thee face with a wet fish, and confiscate whatever bike he’s riding on the random date. 😀

    Whatever he gets, it needs to be able to run on Maccy D’s. 😀

    I’ll say – Nukeproof Mega

    I think he may get a 29er so he’s got a whole new range of forks to make warranty claims on.

    So a Scott 29er.

    steel4real off this very forum said to me on Saturday, “Hora didn’t recognise me and I bought a bike off him”, to which I suppressed a laugh and calmly said he sells bikes every 9 months, so you’re not the first.

    I’ll go for a ‘Giant Glory’ purchased on January 29th, 2012 at 12 noon.

    How about a Nicolai Helius, custom built with geometry that has been agonised and debated for months?

    Nedraper and ourkidsam are pretty much spot on. I’d have a stumpy evo frame tomorrow but **** all chance of finding a frame used.

    On Rivi today I actually thought the Turner makes a lot of sense. A couple more tweaks and its spot on.

    Binners – get a 2ndhand c456. That’s my next purchase as a ‘light bike’ 🙂
