I have't got it yet.

Pinkbike fantasy enduro , I won the 3rd round in May (two of us got the same points so via a lottery i got second, won a dropper)

I was told 'please allow 4 - 12 (!) weeks for delivery'.  It still hasn't arrived. lots of toing and froing between Pinkbike and Shimano Europe.  Still no post.   No much i can do is there?   Two sets of slats to hoof, two bombers required, not really the end of the world but it's the principle goddammit!

Well played! I did terribly in all the fantasy leagues this year. Whoever I picked ended up injured!
I did win a set of tenet components pedals thoughts an Instagram competition However They came with a £25 royalmail import charge! Double edged sword and all that!
Generally I’m not lucky in competitions

I know exactly what you mean.
I won the second round and I'm still waiting too.
Like you say, there's not really much we can do.

Fantasy competition = Fantasy prizes?

I won a pair of kneepads in the Tuesday teats comp on here, ooh, ages ago. Turned up fast enough, but both left handed. 😁 Didn't notice for ages, so obviously equally comfortable on either leg.

Tuesday teats comp

Is that like a wet T-shirt competition?

Something like that, but I used cabbage leaves to solve it.

Seems pretty normal with pinkbike competitions, I think last year's winner (or the year before) had trouble getting the bike he won! Guessing they're at the mercy of the companies involved really.

You should check out the thread on pistonheads about the bloke that won a car in a competition that was “worth c£50k”. Turned out that was it’s value new many years previously.
