Hilton. Posted August 27, 2015 Share Hi Guys, Nick. Do you know of a person or initiative in Cape Town doing a similar Build-a-bike thing, where I can donate parts, or should I sent my parts up to you in a box? I've got a 9-spd groupset and a few other things I'd like to donate. Gandalf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

divernick Posted September 22, 2015 Share REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCEI currently operate out of a small storage unit and an even smaller shedon my property. This is no longer sustainable as the storage unit isexpensive and the shed is too small. I fund the initiative personally,but this is also no longer sustainable as my personal financialobligations are becoming more strained.I've been offered the opportunity to establish the initiative at the PWCCycle Park in Bryanston - they will allow me to place a container ontheir property at no charge. This will give me the space and financialrelief I need to continue this initiative.Please let me know if you would be willing and able to sponsor orsubsidize a container for this use, be it a donation of container, or along-term loan etc. The idea is to use the container as workshop andstorage.Thanks in advance and warm regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
divernick Posted October 22, 2015 Share We'll be at the Africa Cycle Fair. Come and say hi and bring us some parts that you don't need anymore! We're also auctioning off a Cotic frame and raffling off a Kitted chainring, cap and sticker set to raise funds. SimpleDom and Gandalf 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

divernick Posted October 27, 2015 Share We now desperately need a shipping container to put down at PWC Cycle Park and move the Build a Bike initiative there, away from my home. We've now been able to give away 65 bikes and it's time for the next step. This presents both a challenge and an opportunity: The challenge - containers cost around R20k-R40k depending on options The opportunity - this container will act as a brilliant 6m wide billboard visible from Main road If anyone can assist or is willing to spinsor in part or in full, please contact me.
