Charity Bike Build

Some of you may remember this from the old WMB forum: the bikes are now complete! Basically forum members donated spare parts, and two full bikes have been built from them, a vintage steel Rockhopper, and a Hardrock. Both will be raffled off shortly with all proceeds going to charity. The winner gets to choose which bike he wants, with the other as second prize. Two charities have already been decided, where the initial builder and organiser got to choose: myself and Carrie Walton, where the charities reflect two causes close to us: The Neuroendocrine Tumour Foundation (I was diagnosed with a NET in 2003) and the Foundation for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (Carrie's 21 month old niece passed away on Christmas day last year). However as a second bike has managed to be built, it has been decided that the final charity will be added, which will be polled from a list suggested by forum members. The list is finished, what remains is to vote!
Here is a link to the bikes:

And a link to the charities:

The poll will finish in 7 days, upon which final details of the raffle will be released. It would be very much appreciated if you could vote on a charity, and maybe even buy a ticket afterwards!
Many thanks,
Paul

this sucks!
we did this back about 5/6 years ago on mbuk.com
i sent in a coyote dual frame (cost to me £360 a few years prior) and the damn thing never got built up. most distressing.
looks like your system was a little more organised than ours.
good luck with it.<hr noshade size="1"><center><font size="1"><font color="black">Whip it up baby..</font id="black"></font id="size1">.</center>0 -
