@Patrick9-32: Likewise, but the new formatting isn't the issue. It's the change. Mountain bikers don't like change. If it's new and different, it's automatically scary and should be shunned regardless of merits.
@Smallbright: ADVENT Advent advent CALENDAR Calendar calendar SHOWDOWN showdown showdown. Reigning champion R R R R R REDDDDSSHHHIIFFFTT takes on the upstart challenger RRREDBURN in a comment section fight not seen since that guy who hated the Specialized Demo last logged in. BE THERE OR BE SQUARE
Sorry, I live under a rock so the only music I hear is what I play from cd or vinyl (currently no cassette tape). So I wasn't aware the whole "true love went shopping and all I got was" thing is related to a (popular) song. Could you tell the name of the song so that I could look it up? Apparently this thing could be sung. Currently I only read it as if it were countdown to liftoff. Good enough but considering it is still a fair few days until christmas I guess it is nice to stir it up a little.
@Patrick9-32: Alright, now I get it. Never heard it before but apparently it is a classic. Next post by Redshift I'll try to sing along . The tune I mentioned can be heard here:
*Psst*. *Psst*! Yeah... you! Winner of the Spectral! Or the Whyte, for that matter. If you don't want/need it, I have an idea for what you could do with it...
The prize that would fit my needs like a glove: 1. Currently need new and lighter backpack, 2. Need saddle as my Selle Italia just started to fall apart last week 3. Need new grips for the DH bike, old sunlines are disintegrating and so sticky. It would be perfect :-D
@Santamtnbiker: Ditto that except for the pack. Mine was working fine, last I checked... uh... But... my grips are in pieces and my seat is old. This sounds nice...
The rules say a name is drawn at the end of each day, has anyone actually won any of these yet? I'd expect more gloating and excitement in the comment section after a few these complete bikes were won.
"12. At the end of each day (24hr period) during the Contest Period names will be drawn at random to determine winners of daily prize(s)."
i was thinking the same, they also said that "Winners will be announced and published on Advent Calendar page once confirmation has been received by winner within five (5) days. If notification is not received within time period a redraw will occur."
Huh... can't reply at the moment..so I'll post. Weird. @redshift... my sleep deprived brain wasn't sure lol, I thought it was Vader... nope, now I remember it was Palpatine. And Sidius? Anyway... LOLOL! The faux carol was removed. The mods are on your side; you have the force, nothing can stop you now... HURRAY FOR THE 24 DAYS OF MTB!
This is a great price. I'm not going to sign up as I already have two BE1 packs (so that I can swap the bladder, back protector and other contents to the other pack when one has gone dirty and/or sweaty after a ride. I love this pack. Weight nice and low, good flexibility, back protection (if you use the back protector obviously) and just enough room for the essentials. This one is slightly bigger than what I have but it is probably every bit as good. I would need some new grips but I'm not going to sign up just for that. So whoever wins, enjoy!
I've come to the conclusion that no one wins anything on Pinkbike. Whether it's an advent calendar contest, fundraiser, whatever. No winners are ever posted anywhere for any contest. It's all a marketing scheme to keep the goons coming back for more. Much like the lottery.
@lightsgetdimmer: Maybe wait until AFTER the contest ends? Also if you hadn't received an email within 48hrs of the end of each round, then you didn't win that particular price.

It is not for everyone mind you. Though being already twenty years old, it could be considered a classic too.
