New Bike

Post by Craigyboy9 »

Only went and won a 2018 Tuono Factory on Friday night on the RevComps site. Best bit of luck I’ve had in years.

I saw it over on TRC and i think a few on PBForum were trying their luck on that one too.

Bargain result fella !!

It’s on Facebook, they’re called RevComps. They do a couple of draws every week. Not super high value stuff with ticket prices ranging from £5 to £15. Not been on a road bike since I sold my Gen2 Tuono back in 2017. Hopefully get out tomorrow for a couple of hours.

Absolutely, I didn’t miss the road riding so much the first couple of years, but this summer I’ve really missed it. Probably due to the lockdown as well. I’ve bought a couple of tickets every payday for the last 5 months, not a bad return in exchange for a 12 grand bike.

I saw that on my feed and just dismissed it as a semi-scam.

Brilliant result. 8-)

Having trouble uploading a photo, I think they might be too big. It just says board quota has been reached.

Good one, nice to hear of someone getting a result. :thumbup:

I keep seeing the draws and thinking - ooh, nice bike - but have never bitten the bullet and bought a ticket, damn, you might have just cost me a few quid a month.

1999 to 1, better odd than winning £12k on the national lottery. 🤣

pics on here are not massive, but 99% of people use hosting on places like Flickr these days, so i've seen no real reason to increase the allocation for uploads/attachments.

Looks great - loved my Tuono. Didn't ride it enough ....

But that applies to most of the bikes I own!
