Despite thieves trying to steal the show (literally) Hotlines are happy to report our 2010 event was a great success. With ten of our brands on display including Lapierre, Ghost, Nukeproof, Ragley, Lynskey, IXS, WTB, Loeka, NS Bikes and Electra there was plenty for the crowds to see and do. Thursday night saw an exclusive premiere of the Freecaster, World Cup Season DVD, with special guests filling the Brick Lane venue to enjoy the film night, which was followed by a live band, who also starred at the beginning of the DVD.
Other activities included the unique Electra ride outs, guided sightseeing tours of London, which were very popular with those visiting from out of town or out of the UK on the surprisingly sunny October weekend.
Crowd favourites at the Dray Walk gallery were the prototype Nukeproof Scalp DH bike and the new Lynskey Sportive road bike shown below.
Lynskey Sportive
The Lapierre range was so popular that thieves couldn’t wait for them to hit the shops later this month and sadly took four of them, along with a total of six bikes and a true work of art hanging on the gallery wall… The Lynskey Helix frame.
A caller from London who has seen and approached a gentleman riding the Lapierre Team DH bike has contacted Hotlines and police are following this lead. We would like to ask anyone who may be able to help with the police enquiry, or sees any of the stolen bikes, to contact either Hotlines headquarters on 0131 319 1444 or the policeman in charge of the case, Detective Sergeant Jones on 0208 2174113. Hotlines are offering a reward for any information given that leads to bikes being recovered.
Finally we would like to thank you all… Customers, dealers, media and press for attending the show and helping to make it an enjoyable week and a great success, despite all the unwanted excitement on Friday morning!
