Dear OBRA landers,
Has your child outgrown their quality 10 speed bike?
Does that bike need an attentive new owner?
Do you have a smaller road bike gathering dust in your garage or basement?
Looking for a new home for that bike?
I have several small children in need of decent bikes. At the Estacada
Time Trial some of these kids rode bikes that they borrowed. Others rode
bikes that were too small or too large and some rode bikes that did not
actually work very well. These kids all have been taking turns training
on 2 of Mikkel's outgrown bikes. But to race they each need their own bike.
These kids are doing odd jobs to help support their bike riding habit and
do have a little money to go towards the purchase of a quality used
bike. But when you are 10-13 years-old, odd jobs will not make enough
money to buy a good new bike. So, if you are willing to make a kid a good
deal please contact me. <mailto:GeriB-@hotmail.com>GeriB-@hotmail.com
We would also accept bikes donated to the group of kids. The bikes will
be well taken care of and appreciated by these kids.
We have a garage with hooks waiting. Can you fill one or two?
Much thanks to Mark Ginsberg for the summer loan of his dust gather spare
bike.
I am in need of bikes that will fit:
Stephan 5'11" 36" inseam
Andy 5' 2" 28" inseam
Josh 5'1" 28" inseam
Patty 4'10" 27" inseam
Kayla 4'7" 26" inseam
Ellie 4'7" 26" inseam
Madison 4'3" 24" inseam
Jacob 4'3" 24" inseam
Thanks,

younger cousins]
