**Anonymous member of STW community has kindly offered his bike for a draw to raise funds for Bullheart.**
This is a bike purchased off here some time back. The seller was the very decent sort and my lbs were brilliant at undertaking some required fettling; the end result being this bike cost me next to nothing and a Klein-shaped tick off the bucket list.It's a '96 Klein Pulse Comp set up SS, fitted with pepperoni forks and a custom paint job in fantastic condition. Parts include a Chris King headset, Fred Salmon bars & stem, Titanium seatpost & Ringle bottle cage.
It’s now time to pay forward the generosity shown to me, so it’s being raffled to raise funds for Bullheart and his family.

1. Every £5 will get a ‘ticket’ (A line on a spreadsheet). £10, two lines etc..
2. Simply make your donation on his link above referencing your STW name, and then post 'in'/'done'/'banana' or whatever you like in this thread.
3.The raffle will be drawn in 2 weeks, on Friday 9th March, using https://www.random.org/lists/ to pick the winner
Boring bits: (Postage costs will be met by the owner - if you are within the Yorkshire area they can deliver it by hand. Size is 17.5 from centre to centre, pedals not not included, but the white rocket rons pictured and additional gears are)
Thanks and good luck.

IMPORTANT
If anyone has forgotton to include their STW Forum name for the raffle, or indeed if anyone has any questions, please send a PM to user "anonymous". Thank you.
Lovely thing to do
And a lovely thing to win. That's got to be worth a tenner, done.
DONE! I was just about to donate anyway then spotted this. It's a lovely gesture and so worthy of support, and I don't even want the bike as I've already got a SS Klein!
No should have to do this to raise money for health care, which is exactly why it's great to see people supporting others like this. Good luck
DONE, superb idea. All the best Bullheart
Top banana! Worthy cause and a fantastic gesture
With all that time saved changing gears, one would have thought some could be spared for the lawn...
Done although didn't leave my username - oh well
Ha, done with £15 too and also didn't leave my name to start with!! You can sign back in add commented in 'Manage my donations'.
Me too! Thanks for the edit tip.
What an inspired way to help. Thank you and every best wishes for bullheart and his family.
Done! That’s a generous offer! I’ve donated enough for 2 lines - I’d pay that for the bottle cage!
Done, good luck
Done. Very generous idea 'anon'!
Done, I couldn't not having read the other thread. All the best to Bullheart and really generous 'anon'.
Let's see...
Dislike singlespeeds.... check
Bike is too small for me anyway.... check
Live 18,000km away so no realistic way of getting grubby mitts on the bike in the event of winning.... check
I'm in!
Donated. All the best Bullheart and well done Anon.
Donated if I win I will ride it on the #jennride South Lakes 100 🙂
Great idea. Donated.
Donated if I win I will ride it on the #jennride South Lakes 100
I'm not often lost for words. Thank you.
Donated. Best wishes.
Well I didn't donate to enter the raffle but seeing as Anonymous went to the trouble of messaging me I'll stick my name in the hat.
That said the garage is pretty full and my back is a bit bost for a Hardtail so I'll put it out there now that if I win it it'll be going T'bay as a Charity Auction with all proceeds going to the Bullheart Fund.
Put in. I was going to today on payday, but I bumped it up a bit because of this excellent idea/donation by Anonymous.
My garage is also full, and I've got a Privateer to build up at some point too, so I was already thinking along the same lines as one_happy_hippy. I'd rag it around the hills for a month or two first, though!
DONE
Donated £20 on 18/02/18 but didn't leave my name/forum name; not sure if the raffle applies retrospectively.
Thanks for the kind donation Anonymous.
donated 8 lines worth a day or so ago and left my username. does that mean im in the draw or is it just from when this went live?
In!
Lovely gesture - so pleased at the level of STW support!
Great idea!! I’ve entered, nice idea and nice bike.
Done, and well done for setting this up, brilliant idea!
Done. Likewise, if this can be applied retrospectively i donated 10 lines worth on the 18/02/18.
Done and all the best to Bullheart
a great idea - chapeau to the anonymous donor!
I've thrown a tenner in to this very worthy cause - best of luck Bullheart
i have a Klein shaped box to tick of my own too so fingers crossed 🙂
Just donated another fiver for the bike comp, for one line.
I donated the other day but that was before this comp was running, so don't add that as lines too.
Thanks to anonymous for donating what looks like a great bike!
I never win these kinda things, but when it's for such an epic cause I couldn't say no! My Wife is super excited about having another bike in the garage, so this is for her, really.
Done!

Thank you all so much for your continued generosity. It's a beautiful bike that the winner will be very happy with, and every ticket is doing something special.
Re: Retrospective donations, it's only for donations made since this post went up I'm afraid.
Thank you once again.
done - new donation added.
great gesture, not sure that you'll be that anonymous though, not many bikes as 'striking' as that one around.
Donated again.
done (2 lines)
Awesome idea, In for a £10, hope it helps Bullheart.
I'm in.
lovely gesture, I'm in
Done even though I don't have space for another bike
Done 2 lines, a very generous deed anon

Just drop me a PM to give me the details of your name as it appears on the page (or anonymous) and amount - I can then track back..
2. Please post in here once you've donated - it ensures you're in the draw
Thanks for your understanding and continuing generosity. You've raised £450 in less than 24 hours 🙂
Done!
2 lines done from me...
Done - and PM sent as I’d forgot to put username on it 🤣
done (2 lines)
Just popped in a fiver for a line. forgot to put my user name in. Dont want the bike as I am in Aus. But if I win someone can auction it for Bullheart.
Thanks Majestic. That's £500.
Edit: Thanks uphillcursing, got it.
Done - 5 lines.
Just fired a link over to retrobike.co.uk 🙂
Always have space for a bike like that. Heartwarming gesture, done
done
Done. Great idea. What a star
Done - in for two lines. Doubt the bike will fit me but I've always wanted a Klein 🙂
Done. couple of lines. if I win, auction the bike and donate the funds to Mark's cause.
Done - "love you guys"
Done
Done
I've just donated. I doubt it'll get tied back to my account but just in case, I'd like to opt out of the draw. a) I don't need another bike and b) as a forum moderator I feel it'd be politically incorrect if I were to win.
Donation made...
V.Best wishes to you and your family.
Donated - 2 lines.
lovely thing to do for a very worthy cause. Good luck everyone.
Sweet music, a tenner here too.
Done - I have a Klein shaped space to fill in the garage.
Best of luck and life to Bullheart & a commendation for Annonymous.
Cheers, Paul

Done - although it appears under my real name - Alan Dow!! Sodding technology! Or rather my increasing inability to use technology! 6 lines
Banana!
(well, you listed it as an option...)
£20 in from me. Likely don't need a Klein SS, but it's the right size, for a good cause, and I like shiny things...
done, 4 lines but I'm on the gofundme as anon, about an hour ago (email confirmation timed at 1541 on 26th feb)
All donations accounted for and tickets allocated thank you. It's great that so many of you have got into the spirit of this. You've raised £745 so far.
In a shameless pursuit of raising a bit more for Bullheart, each £5 ticket currently has a one in a hundred and forty five chance of walking away with a retro-bling Klein.
The chance of winning a far-less-stylish £250 in the Thunderball lottery with £5 of tickets, is one in nine thousand, four hundred and eighty three. 🙂
Done it - 2 lines for me, all the best to Bullheart and well done to the donor of the Klein, lovely bike but not really my thing so if I win I’ll auction it off for the cause. Cheers Phil
I'm in
