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?

divernick Posted August 4, 2012 Share One of my recipients was bike-jacked yesterday near Diepsloot. The bike is a Raleigh Explorer MTB with street tyres and has a build a bike sticker on the silver bit of the top tube. Please let me know if you spot it, or just call the cops. I should have a case number by Monday. Pics below.

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 https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/107136-build-a-bike-enriching-the-lives-of-the-less-fortunate/page/15/#findComment-1743573 Share on other sites More sharing options...

divernick Posted August 15, 2012 Share Thanks and a big-UP to Green Bean for the kind donation of the Specialized Dolce ladies road bike. This bike is in great shape and would be awesome for a development rider - any nominations?
