akneethling Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 The response is impressive. ....... overwhelming..... Welcome, I am prepared to contribute. Let's see what you have after today. We can take it offline if you want. This bike would just be for commuting, right?
nick_the_wheelbuilder Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 I'm sure Build a Bike SA can help.... How tall is he?
TALUS Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 I am in the process of sourcing a medium for him. I am sure lights and a helmet will be welcome since he works as a vendor and very likely travels in the dark. Anyone?

I have a Ryder Front light I can donate. I Think it's the "Night Ryder"

Broker Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 I have a helmet available. Will also add a flashing rear light. Where must I send or deliver it
nonky Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 I am happy to donate a few ZAR's, don't have any spare kit.
TALUS Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 I have a helmet available. Will also add a flashing rear light. Where must I send or deliver itThx Bud. I am still trying to tie the loose ends. It will be PTA. He works in De Wildt. I hope to sort out the bike today.
Broker Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 Thx Bud. I am still trying to tie the loose ends. It will be PTA. He works in De Wildt. I hope to sort out the bike today.Pleasure will you let me know. I can arrange delivery in PTA tomorrow afternoon
TALUS Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 I am also thinking proper chain and lock. I would hate it if his "feet" get stolen.
TALUS Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 Pleasure will you let me know. I can arrange delivery in PTA tomorrow afternoonI will send PM with delivery address ASAP.
TALUS Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 Short update:Bike sourced and on-route from CPT. Again Eldron helped a lot. This guy gives service that is unsurpassed. He will kindly help to get the bike pre-serviced. He is donating a lot to this cause. I think it will take a bit of time (?a week). So we should have a helmet and rear light thanks to Broker and a front light from akneethling. I am still hoping for a bike chain and lock. This has just again confirmed how important transport is for some people. I hope we can all make a donation to Build a Bike SA to help with situations just like this.
