Freecycle build = LCEF donation

Up for raffle today are two sweet bikes!

If you haven’t heard about this project, the bikes have been put together exclusively from parts donated by members of LFGSS and all the proceeds of the raffle will go directly to the LCEF.

You can have a look at the build thread here: http://www.lfgss.com/thread99506.html

There is also be a full writeup of the project on CycleLove, so please share/like/tweet that too.

The Raffle

I’ll administer this by email: lcefbikes@gmail.com, please email me if you want to participate!

• £5 per ticket, per bike - email me on lcefbikes@gmail.com
  
• Buy as many as you want for either bike - pay me online or cash in person.
  
• Closing date: Friday 31st May 2013
  
• In the interest of transparency, you can track ticket sales here: http://tinyurl.com/cjpu8j6
  
• I’m aiming for 100 tickets per bike
  
• If you win a bike and don’t want it, feel free to sell it but it would be a crying shame to split either bike! :)
  
  

I'll arrange somewhere to make the draw on Saturday 1st June, with independent adjudicators present and the draw will be made numerically, i.e. I'll be drawing numbers out of a ‘hat’.

Now is also the right time to shout-out all the contributors:

Having seen the Langster in the flesh I can vouch for its tastiness.
