Do you have any contacts that might be willing to get involved? Now is the time to call in favours and twist arm’s 😉

I’m off to email major retailers, without hoping to much as I know they don’t often do charitable donation’s, unless its for a charity they are involved with 😕

Based on that, If your legs
Based on that, If your legs are ok with reaching the little bit further, I’d go with the 59 and then get a slightly shorter stem, maybe a 75mm. Unsure about spacers though :B

Indeed, you could do worse and get one of the Cervelo P range 👿 …….But Planet X is a good shout on a budget

Yeah a TT specific frame would be better, but if you are after a frame and bars at a decent price, can’t go far wrong with this……..Make me an offer on this Trek

36% raised by 45 people in 7
36% raised by 45 people in 7 days. This is just stunned me to the core. I always had faith that people might be willing to help me a little. But this much, in 7 days has really moved me.

When I started out with this effort. I really just put the site up, into my signature and sent out a couple of tweets. Since alotronic began this thread. The tips, suggestions and donation’s have been amazing.

Thanks to all of you from the bottom of my heart. Today I will be hitting twitter again to get through the list I have left to tweet about maybe donating an item to my intended auction. Still working out how to do it, but its coming along and keeping some items back to raffle 😉

Hope people have a nice Sunday and get out for a ride or a swim down the high street in some cases. Stay safe though 😀

Offer him £1000 if you can come pick it up straight away…… 😉

Its just a copy with a 0 feedback account. So almost 100% its a scam. You’ll never see a bike if you “buy” it.

Cheers Dave that would be
Cheers Dave that would be fantastic,

I’ll just have to work out what to do, because I don’t know how to structure an auction, raffle or whatever It may be. Dependant on the volume of things I receive. I’ll have to think it through.

Just got an amazing email back from Team Colombia Coldeportes

Dear Keith,

my name is David Evangelista, Press Officer of Team Colombia. I am also the one who replied to your tweet.
I am very impressed by your story, and I will be happy to check what we can do to give a contribution to your auction. Do consider that all of our riders are in Colombia at the moment, but I will ask whether there is any piece of apparel that we can send you. I would rather have sent you something autographed, but I will have the guys on hand in January only.
Look out for an update for us in some days!

Hang in there! I am sure you will collect a lot of support from the cycling world!

Kind regards

David Evangelista
Press Officer

I am currently looking for

Euskaltel
FDJ
Liquigas/Cannondale
Lotto – Belisol
Omega Pharma
Rabobank

Going to their website’s hasn’t helped, they have a generic form to fill in, but some only allow 200 characters. 🙁

Off to start on the Continental teams. I might need to work on a strategy to have an auction, but also raffle some via the funding set up?? 😕
