Maybe a pic of you and your bike. If you dont have an airline ticket by now, it may be a challenge getting one. I presume that you already have an Argus entry (as you still call it. No worries I do too.) There are kind people around here but you need to work for it and prove that all is legit.

dave303e Posted March 6, 2018 Share sponsorship it a 2 way street, what have you got to offer potential sponsors other than 2.5W/kg? How many people can you prove will see their products? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harryn Posted March 6, 2018 Share Eitan. Do you have your parents permission to post this request, will one of them be traveling with you, do you have food and accommodation for the weekend? Don’t reveal any personal info about yourself or your school or location- but if you have a way of convincing us that your parents are on board, that you have a valid entry in your name, that you will be safe, and that the logistics are all taken care of, then people will respond. Also, as Vetseun has pointed out, flights to Cape Town at this late stage will be hard to come by. And will be very expensive. If you have not given thought to any of the above, and do not yet have parental consent, perhaps you should make this a dream for next year? pista, Hairy, scotty and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vetplant Posted March 6, 2018 Share I'll be the bad guy... This sounds seriously fishy, who starts to think about plane tickets 5 sleeps before the Argus?  Looks as if you are just trying to cash in on Argus euphoria and people's good will.  You are going to have to be way more convincing than that to get someone to sponsor you.

devocean Posted March 6, 2018 Share I've seen this movie...a vague and dodgy looking opening post, gathers some interest but OP never to be seen again, yet three weeks down the line and 200 pages later, people still calling the guys mom a slag Come to think of it, that's pretty much the plot of 98% (I made that figure up) of the threads on bikehub... just replace topic with 'Loser did not greet me on cycle path',  'Bad service at LBS', 'Riding two abreast', 'Cyclelab chops'...take your pick Edited March 6, 2018 by devocean Duane_Bosch, HDW, bikebloke and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
