Complete: Mikenetic's Charity Bike Sale: the overview

Condolences abound. All good causes and I’m sure the bikes will find good homes.

It's a beautiful thing you're doing, best of luck with the sale and sorry for you loss.

GLWS, so so saddened to read about your loss and hope you make some good money. Macmillan nurses looked after my mother when the same disease took her and I’ll never forget how much care, compassion and consideration they gave her and us as a family.

Thanks for all the incredibly kind and supportive words. I'm going to put some full posts for the sales together soon, and I thought I'd put up some images so people have an idea of what I'll be selling:

All-season road bike (54cm) wheels are now Ksyrium Elites.

TIG tourer disc (54cm)

All-rounder road disc (52cm)

Karate Monkey in drop bar bouncy mode

Maybe I should clean it Cube CX bike

And the Rourke? Love the one on ebay at the moment but could never justify it. If I new proceeds were going to charity, however......

That IS clean for a cross bike

The Rourke is in a box in the loft, so I need to take some new shots. It's a re-make of this one, so paint job is the same, although the Enve fork is now just sprayed up in gloss black.

What a great way to honour you wife, definitely following this thread. Interested in the 54cm all season road bike when its ready for it's full post :)

Big thanks to everyone who's been sending me messages - it means a lot. The 54cm TIG Tourer and the 52cm All Seasons are now on hold.

I'll post the 54cm winter road bike and the Cube CX later on today, once I've had time to pause for thought.

Mike

What a lovely thing to do, I must admit I am fond of that Cube CX ;-)

Will the Karate Monkey be available ?

Just thought I'd give an update on the sales so far

All of the three bikes I built have either been collected or are on hold, the Rourke frame set should be getting a new owner tomorrow, and my builder took a shine to the CX bike. That means the only one left is the Karate Monkey. I haven't posted that up yet, as a couple of people are talking to me about it.

In total so far the sales have raised over £3,000 for charity, which is brilliant. I can't thank everyone enough for their kind words and generosity. It's great.

Mike

Sent a pm about the karate monkey

Great stuff Mike

Hello everyone, the last of the bikes left with a new owner this morning. The sales conducted here, and a couple of others, have raised just under £4,000. That's brilliant.

Everyone on the forum who's been in touch with me has been super-supportive. It means a lot to me, loads of people have new bikes to ride, and we get to help out people who need it.

So thank you all, you lovely bunch of humans.

Mike

And thank you❤️

Amazing!!!!

Ah beautiful. i love this community.
