divernick Posted July 30, 2012 Share I am auctioning / raffling off the Bianchi that I built to ride at Critical Mass - many of you saw me on the bike - to raise money to buy high-viz vests for the local bicycle commuters in the Midrand area. My question to you all: would you rather bid on the bike at R1000+ or buy a raffle ticket for R50 and stand a chance to win it in a lucky draw?

HappyMartin Posted August 12, 2012 Share Great thread and great work. These bikes look very good. I have an old kona in pretty much running condition, used it as a commuter myself, and a few spare wheels. Also spare tyres including a lovely set of specialized 26 inch slicks hardly used. Love for it all to go to a good home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
