divernick Posted April 23, 2012 Share Sounds like a good cause. I've got a couple rims lying around. PM me for info. Awesome! Thanks a million, PM sent! All you hubbers are amazing, thanks for your generosity and keep a look out for the progress I make with this project. The appreciation shown by the recipients of these bikes is so heart-warming!

divernick Posted May 2, 2012 Share Thanks to Zook for his very kind donation of 3 wheelsets and a few tyres, and a saddle! Much appreciated! I am looking for more MTB frames please, as well as forks.

Corvus Posted May 2, 2012 Share I've got a Rockshox Dart 1 fork lying around here and a bunch of other parts. No frames though.PM me your details, if it's close I'll drop it off otherwise we can arrange something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

divernick Posted May 10, 2012 Share Hey all you awesome Hubbers! I really need some MTB frames and forks - I have enough parts to build up about 4 bikes, just need the frames and forks. Please, if you or someone you know has an old frame or fork lying around, gathering dust, send it my way so that I can help more hard-working people of Joburg save money on transport! Currently through bikes I have donated, the recipients are saving about R2000 per month on transport costs. Imagine if you could save 1/3 of your salary every month! Thanks again!Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

divernick Posted May 25, 2012 Share I would like to send a huge "BIG UP" to Tool-Up Cycles for helping me out with a bunch of old tubes, v-brake parts and a donor fork. I'll have some bikes ready for donation soon! Almost done with this one: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
divernick Posted May 28, 2012 Share Bike all complete:Thanks to Peds for the frame, stem, bars and cranks.The wheels and tyres are from Richard, the fork is from Ryan and the saddle and seatpost from my wife! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
divernick Posted May 28, 2012 Share I donated the bike to a security guard, Mack, who lives in Tembisa. He's 38 and has 2 kids, aged 5 and 12.Riding to work will save him about R600 per month. I would like to give him a helmet as well, so if anyone has one to donate that would be awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
