Build-a-Bike - Enriching the lives of the less fortunate

[shadow1]

Fantastic initiative! Are you based in JHB? do you have anyone doing this in Cape Town?

[divernick]

Yup, I'm in JHB. In Capetown they have www.benbikes.org.za

Recently a nomination came in for a bike for a gardener called Martin. I put this one together from parts.

The fork is from Andre, the frame from Gerhard, the wheels from Terrence and other parts from all over the place.

It’s set up as a single speed for perfect commuting reliability. He seems chuffed, and we couldn’t be happier!

Thanks Dino for nominating him! I wish him many happy miles.

I heard you on the wireless this afternoon, great initiative.

 

I have actually seen this ou toppie on the bmx type bike riding up towards Rosebank so i am pleased you could help.

 

I am doing a clear out over the next few weeks and will drop off enough to build up your stocks again.

 

Well done

I will donate a light for the guy from 702. 600 lumen rechargeable. His story truly touched me.

 

Also have a frame, fork, wheels, tyres, bars, stem, saddle, grips etc for you.

 

Will get everything together and swing by your place.

Here's the start of another bike being built.

 

I need mtb and road wheels please if anyone has any to donate. Thanks!

Here's the bike I'm donating to Paul Botha as part of Radio 702's birthday wish initiative.

He's stoked!
