Just got an email then picked myself up from the floor...after running round the garden... and shouting WWWAAAAA ! a lot.
I'm not sure if you remember Claudio and Nino doing 25 laps of Lenzerheide as a fundraiser for Pump For Peace... and the fact it was possible to be entered in a raffle with a bike as a prize when you made a donation ....
Well schizzle me... I won it!
I'm now the proud owner of a 2021 Spesh Turbo Levo Carbon Expert !
Christmas has indeed landed! I hopefully pick it up next week...I'm absolutely staggered....
eBike ****er 🙂
Wow, that's a lot of bike!
Blimey! Nice one.
Congratulations.
Very nice indeed...congrats!
I’ll give you £50 for it !! Be outdated soon 😉
Oh man… I’ve won a motorbike
Ftfy 😉 (I've got an eeb too)
Congratulations. That is quite a lot of bike to win! Nice one 😊
Wow, that's the correct raffle to win.
(I was genuinely just offered tickets for a raffle with...3 jars of honey as the prize)
Great news!
Hope you enjoy it - and invest in high quality locks.

Winnie the Pooh is very interested in these tickets
You gonna keep it, or sell it and buy two proper bikes?

Ignore, just jealous- never won anything

Congratulations , now you need a new shed to put it in, or a van, or just keep it in the kitchen. So far as I'm concerned emtb opened up a load of new possibilities

Hahahahah creasing up with laughter reading those two comments.
Well done OP, you lucky, lucky person.
Hey, I got that same email!
Didn't know there were multiple prizes....

Just joking....congrats!
Woohoo!!!
Well done.
Great stuff! Well done Rick! Enjoy!
Googles...picks jaw off floor.....a £7.2K prize bike - shit the bed!
Nice one. I don't want an ebike, as in I don't want to spend £7.2K on an ebike......but I'd sure as hell be keeping and enjoying it if I won one!
Well done, Rick! I like it when nice people win nice things; I'll never forget you taking me around your Torridon loop - mountain biking just doesn't get any better.
Well done mucker.
I was looking at one of these at GT yesterday. Stunning bike. Spesh are ahead of the game with their Ebikes. Congrats :o)
👍
Good things happen to good people Rick , well done. Just means you need to buy Andrea one.
Hits the imaginary like button!
Winner!
That’s a properly sorted bike.
That really is a prize
A guilt free ebike
Wow
NIce one! Congratulations! It's an amazing feeling!
Not an S-Works, basically an unrideable deathtrap
razorrazoo,
Funny you mention it but on the prize table were three jars of honey (artesian Swiss Self-Homing Bees, natch), a tin of Quality Street, a bottle of Johnny Walker, a subscription to a specialist magazine called "Razzle" and this bike... tough choice as it looked like really really nice honey...but hey ho...
Bit puzzled about the unridable deathtrap comment though...
What a great post, fantastic news Rick...
I got coerced into buying raffle tickets for my niece's school last night.
Prize list:-
Luxury hamper of meat - I'm vegan
A pair of apple air pods - I'm an android user
Vouchers to a gin online shop - this I can use
A voucher for a children's sports holiday camp - childless
And...star prize....a family match ticket to watch Bromley FC - I'm sure it'll be awesums but it's be a 1200 mile round trip.
Please let it be the gin, please let it be the gin.
£7.2k
Holy shit.
Yeah, merry xmas 😎😎
Mint!
Started your email assuming you’d won a Boardman Team Pro gravel racer or sommat, but ya only bloody gone and won a nearly top of the range e-thingy!!
That's awesome. Enjoy!
Very nice indeed! Many uphill KOMs to craftily steal now!
Congratulations! But please, take a moment to think of the south cumbrian environment advisors who won't be fortunate enough to get a new ebike this Christmas and haven't had a new bike for some time. Some of these unfortunate people are kept in apalling conditions including houses with unfinished utility rooms, some have go to site and are forced to work more than two days a week. But you can make a difference. You can turn around the bleak Christmas they face this year by a simple act of generosity. You know you'll feel a lot better for it. Be the change you want to see (email in profile)
I paid for an alloy last generation Levo and I still think it’s bloody marvellous (and still like riding my hardtail too). Winning an even fancier new one is absolutely awesome - have fun!
Have fun!
Razzle?
what a result!
I won an Exposure Joystick from my LBS last week, possibly the first thing i have ever won. Was well chuffed, so i cant imagine what it must feel like to win this!
Enjoy!
@thestabilizer
Packet of Hobnobs sent... I went full fat. They are the chocolate ones.....
Just checking this isn’t one of those ‘Look [signficant other], I’ve won a bike! No of course I haven’t bought a £7.2k bike, I won it in a competition!’ Type ruses…
😉
Whoop....
Expects pictures....
Waiting for collection details but I think I'm picking it up from VeloSolutions in Flims Lax.
I live on the Swiss German border, so its not far away... (or very small, if you're a Father Ted fan..)
Its this:
https://www.specialized.com/nl/en/turbo-levo-sl-expert-carbon/p/175106?color=293242-175106
I’d sure as hell be keeping and enjoying it if I won one!
TBH, right now, I'd be selling it!
Global bikes/parts shortage etc pushing demand, should mean you don't lose much of it's value in resale.
And I know I could do a lot with a spare ~£6k, some of which would still involve a bicycle (or two)...
Following in from the recent Ladybower Sworks theft thread (and others) I was really worried about you advertising this on the Internet. Then I read this:
I live on the Swiss German border,
All good 🙂
Can you make sure someone takes a photo of your face when you see it in the flesh? 😃
I'm worried about you getting fat riding an ebike.
I'm already fat so I'll take it off your hands for 41 english pounds, hows that sound?
Dear Mr Crispy,
Thank you for your concern about my suitability for owning an e-bike. Rest assured, I have increased my Flowery W*ank Barn Brewed Craft Ale and Greggs Suet Soaked Artesian Steak Bake intake and have started to smoke heavily. I'm sure I will attain Sedentary Bloater status in under two weeks.
Re your offer of GDP41, thats very kind but we use € here. Taking that into consideration, what you are actually offering is the equivalent of a potato and some magic beans..
Rick
Bike collection fixed for Tuesday arvo @ Specialized in Zug near Zurich... 4 more sleeps....

My pal won a load of Katy cider in his local school raffle. He was made up as he loves cider.
As he excitedly went up to collect his prize his wife said "Don't get too excited, it's your cider already, I donated it last week".
Nice work, enjoy

EDIT Oh and well done fella. Nice looking bike. Enjoy. 👍
Nice one OP, congratulations.
Hope you enjoy and look forward to hearing about it on here.
