Due to the way the economy and the loss of jobs in the USA. I would like to get some donations to make a FEW complete bike's for a few families who just have fallen on hard times and who honestly cant afford a brand new bike. I want to make these bikes as like new as possiable. We willl figure out what families these go to when they are done, one at a time. These are going to children in need and ones who want to race and cant afford one. freestyle also welcome and would ATLEAST like to due one of each!!!

We are looking for cranks, frames, wheels, and misc, helmets, gloves, gear, jerserys.. all donations welcomed from business and private donations welcome.

If this is something your intrested in. Id love to do the leg work. I will ask Mike to come up with the idea. I just need to know if we have anyone interested in this at all? All donars will be listed when the bikes are given away.


This is a GREAT MORAL BOOSTER for the VBMX community!

great idea ,share the love.....

I'll donate what I can from Standard and Goodtimes.
Rick

I knew Rick would step in. This could be a good on going thing. Come on people. Got to have extra parts laying around. just have to find the frame first, then we will work around that!!!


thanks Nick

not to put ricks name out there... (hint hint)
but why don't we start with a standard frame?
MOST of us already know they're the best made
maybe one of those killer ones that have been sitting around the shop a little to long?
eh?

I will see, but he has already gave up so much or alot of time and money for the other contest that custom frame will cost alot of time and money and design. This is something im trying to do myself. I dont want to keep relying on Rick!

anyone?

not many of us (outside of the industry) have "brand new" frames, etc that they are willing to give away... I have some nice stuff I could donate, depending on the contest details but nothing brand new...

I have no new school brand new parts to donate. However, I do have an idea. How about opening a Paypal account where folks can donate $1, $2, $5, $20, etc toward the project. This can be an ongoing goodwill project and maybe the first bike can be code name "Project A". The next one, "Project B" and so on...or whatever, the name isn't important.

There also needs to be clear criteria for those to be helped. Example: Severe hard times, health issues, family loss, critical job loss, etc.

Once the bike is theirs, it's their bike to do with what they want. If they want to sell it to buy a kidney or a can of kidney beans, it's there deal and judgement should not be passed.

These are just ideas that came to my mind, feel free to ignore them or use them. I just know giving is way better than receiving, especially when it's difficult to give.

Bravo to nvmyslowride.

Cbath has a good idea.

Do you want new school, NOS, used but in good shape? You'll end up with a franken bike. but, maybe with the SBC powder guy hookup it could be made to look good anyway.

I have thing like fly dR bars, haro race forks, brake sets, etc I could throw in the hat.. we'd need details on WHAT it's gong to be to know what parts we have would match the bike.

Both are very good ideas that we can look into. like I said this is a idea I thought about and could be a good thing.

let me know when and what is happening ,i will purchase something through nick from rick as standard byke /goodtimes store
it will help the project ,it will please me and help keep the industry wheels turning a tad ..

WANTED . YOUR OLD FRAME/FORK

ooo yes we got to get that and build it for some lucky person..

ooo yes we got to get that and build it for some lucky person..

Im trying hard to do something good!!!

anyone else have any ideas or a contest, parts to donate, that kinda stuff, so I can figure out what to work with here soon. I have a baby do yesterday, so this upcoming week i should have plenty of time to figure stuff out as we go!!

Hey, count Porkchop BMX in - just let me know what direction you go with this first build. I don't have much new school stuff, but for instance, I can help in the below ways depending on what era bike you go with:

1970's/early 80s build: Tange fork (most are red but I do have some gold TRX's), chrome headset, set of tires any color (black, blue, red, orange or yellow), brake cable kit, etc.

1980's or early 90's build: Set of sealed bearing Joytech hubs, spokes, nipples (sorry, don't have any hoops - but if someone can send me hoops I'll build the wheels...)

New school build: aluminum 1 1/8" threadless headset, Coalition rear hub (Camo or White)

I've got a few thousand pairs of grips in over 100 colors/styles so I can provide the grips for anything from mid-1970's to present day.

Personally, I'd like to see this go to a deserving kid - especially if it's a way to get him or her into racing.

Let me know what you can use

Justin

Maybe shoot for getting a few bikes together by Christmas? There are tons of charities that do the “adopt a family” or “adopt a kid” thing for Christmas? ALL OF US AT VINTAGE can be a part of this. figure out someone deserving of this thing Im trying to do.


call it the economy sucks build!!!

I might know of a coater that would be willing to coat a frame, be it an old or new one in a custom color as a donation to this project.

Thanks shawn!!!

now who has a few old frames? that just needs a special touch!!!

get a few others on board and this could be a great thing.

I have my eye on a 87 blue and chrome haro freestyle sport frame. Ill find out tommorrow. it needs refinished, but nice!!!!!!!!!

I also like the paypal donation idea. but since i have a account already set up i rarely use for private, do we use that or how can i make another since it has to be linked to a bank account. I just want people to know this is a honest deal we are trying to do here!!

Just got a email from a buddy brandon,

Hey bud, I have a mint condition 2001 hyper boxster pro frame I could donate. It was assembled and ridden once. Its anodized red, american bb (I have a new, sealed fsa I can include) as well as a seatpost for the frame.


So it looks like we have a start for a race frame for some lucky person. if i get the haro we can do 1 freestyle, 1 race bike!!!!!



So what does everyone think?

You could probably open another bank account, w/ your current bank, specifically for this use. Then, you could link your Paypal account to that account number. You might want to ask your banker what the ramifications are of using a checking/savings account as a pass through for such things.

Once you get that part of the thing off the ground, let us know.

I never really used my own. I just cashed it out, so I guess i can use that. or checks or money orders would also work too. but ill check with the bank. Im sure everyone should be cool. i have delt with so many people and there money on here through SBC, that i should by now be a trustworthy person!

Who ever donates money i will just put there screen name and a $ sign next to it and not disclose amount. The money used will be to buy from the companys who support on the right of us for odds and ends.

Hmm... Here are some items I could provide for that frame:

Answer 3 piece red/black newer style padset (thin foam)
Neco aluminum cartridge bearing headset
Black CR-MO handlebars
Red/Black ODI Cush 2 ply grips
Odyssey Overbite race tires 20" X 1.75"
IRC tubes

Let me know when you have the frame in hand and I'll send the stuff

Combine this stuff with the frame I'm sending and we have a great start to a good race bike for a deserving kid. As I stated, let me see what else I have lying around. I know I have a few different sized profile imperial sprockets, possibly a set of black redline flights and maybe some wheels too. I will dig through the garage over the weekend.

WOW, THIS IS GOING TO BE FUN!!

Im glad I can help start this. My first BMX my parents made me work for and it was my pride and joy. that was along time ago. Now days times are super tough, im having a hard time myself, but this is something i enjoy. no matter how busy i am, I love to do stuff for other people. it is a very rewarding feeling. I have always had a passion for bmx, just died off through the years, and now im back trying to do what i can to make a impression and help others before I help myself. Giving is the best feeling.

Hey Nick,

Such a great idea. Count me in. I'll donate a pair of black 180mm Red Line flights (single pinch with spindle) and Red Line flight pedals. I've got some comp III tires too, though those are 24".

Take care,
b.

Please let me know what items you need and I will see what I can find here at the VSI warehouse. Toby and I are always in to help out when we can.

Please email me at nziegler@istate.com and i will send you my address to ship the items. Also i can give you paypal info if you want to donate another way.

thanks

Nick

i will hunt the parts the weekend.

PAYPAL ADDRESS IS A100DORK3@YAHOO.COM.

Please leave your screen name so I can add it to sponsers and give you some props!!

It would be cool to do a few bikes of different style to give to different kids.

Thank you. Looks like we are getting a frame. Could probally use a fork and some wheels. As for cranks it seems like alot of people are willing to donate redlines. So far so good!!!!


Nick





Thanks brad, if you want to donate the cranks and pedals, it would be great!!! tires should be taking care of.

I have another old frame being donated from someone here local. Old schwinn something. could be cool!!

I have been getting alot of local calls. Maybe We will have some piles of stuff soon to start some builds. So far no paypal help, but we will see what comes in the mail and gets dropped off first!!!

Cool. Do you want me to send them to 1601 West Locust St. Davenport, IA 52804?

Cheers,
b.

Thats Ricks other store address. dont want to flood him out.

ILL PM YOU A ADDRESS...

I have people all over local sites, saying they will donate. if we get paypal, maybe we can get some new bikes too. even if it was a haro from toys r us, or walmart, its all bmx and a great start. I got a frame being delivered today, so I will post it and we can get ideas what to do with it.


nick

I just got a call from someone who use to ride at rampage back in the day, and he said he is dropping me off some bikes and parts. Looks like we will have a hoffman TAJ, and he also said he has a complete huffy that looks just like a sta with rear 990's and everything. So far local wise I am getting alot of calls to donate.

Once i get the frames. we can decide on which to build first, and go from there.


If the calls keep coming in, this could make alot of kids happy!!!!


thanks

Nick

ANYONE HAVE SOME "NOS" HOFFMAN TAJ DECALS TO DONATE?

Im excited to go home today and see what got dropped off.

whats everyone think so far of whats going on, and whats possible?

Got the first of hope to be many paypal donations today to buy misc for the referbs...

paypal - a100dork3@yahoo.com

got the TAJ today!!!!

RUMOR has it, I got a complete near brand new Dk fury donated.........

SHOULD HAVE PICTURES OF SOME STUFF TONIGHT

I'm waiting for a package to arrive from Dan's, with that I'll have a box to send that Hyper frame over.

So I was down hanging out with Rick M at SBC tonight. And here he gives me a lightly used DK FURY this thread. Bike is very nice, pics were in the dark. Its green, has a few small scratches on it, just needs a bath and some cleaning and polishing to be a sweet bike. All bone stock


What do you think it needs justin, Just pads and a # plate to get it rocking? or should we customize it a tad? Might need a chain, been sitting a while, but I rode it some and it rides nice.





[IMG]http://i259[IMG]http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh304/nvmyslowride/DSC05435.jpg







Like i said it is a super sweet bike, some cleaning and so on, some kid is going to be very lucky!!!!!

Anyone else have some stuff to use?

Hrm.. you asked about some Lime Green parts... but the bike looks Aqua in the pictures... is the color really Aqua? If so, I'm think we're going to be seriously clashing with Lime Green chain and grips.

If you're going to set this up for race I can send you some tires, grips, number plate, padset.... if you want to do gray as an accent color I've got pedals, grips, and pads that would look good.

solid little ride,a few little touches and its good to go,someone will be over the moon with that.
remember ,some arnmt as lucky /fortunate as us ,getting a bmx will be fantastic for them.
