I found a bike a couple of months back, which I reported to the Police. I thought that, once I had claimed it, I would Karma it to someone on these forums (see my original Karma thread HERE).
Since I started the thread, I am sure many of you will be aware in the news of the terrible tragedy that took place at a small coal mine in the Gleision Valley, South Wales. 4 miners were trapped underground when the mine collapsed - all of whom sadly lost their lives.
To cut a long story short, my local pub (The Windsor Arms, Penarth) is holding a fundraising auction on the 29th October to raise money for the families of the coal miners, and I have decided that I would like to donate the bike as an auction lot, to try to do my little bit. The trouble is, the bike needs a few bits and pieces to get it up and running, and this is where I'm hoping to appeal to everybody's charitable side.
Can I please ask that you look through your parts bins, and if you have any of the following bits that you are able to part with for a good cause, please let me know:
It could also do with some new forks, but that's a bit too much to ask so the RSTs will make do
From memory, I think that's all it needs to get up-and-running.
If you could reply on here (so that others know what has been donated and what hasn't), that would be great. I will then pm you with my work address.
Thanks in advance for helping out. I'll be sure to mention the website at the auction so everyone knows who helped put the bike together
