****Update edit, bike is nearly done!!!!****
Huge huge huge thank you to all who dontated to our raffle bike build! We couldn't have done it without you. This just proves that we have one heck of a great bike community. The bike is nearly done. I had a hiccup with the pleated tank but that will be taken care of by capable hands (another bike guy). The bike is coming out just awesome we premiered it yesterday and tickets are now on sale and we did a awesome amount of sales as well. I will have a ad up for online ticket sales either today or tomorrow. But here's the nearly finished product it showcases many good people's big hearts and talents. I have a list I will post of people who helped when I post the ticket sales and those that helped will be rewarded with a ticket / tickets to show our appreciation of your support.
Now the bike -

Original post-
So this will be the second bike we will raffle off next year at our show in Chicago. This year we raffled off a custom built Elgin moto balloon bike and raised $1200 for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Fund!
@SlyRed built that bike and we helped sell tickets. This year in order to reduce money spent and maximize donation we are doing the bike as a group effort and looking for parts donations. The frame, seat post, and a yellow band kickback hub donated by
@us56456712.
@SlyRed will be donating wheel assemblies to the project.

Saturday I added a seat which I will be recovering and the guts will be powder coated by
@XC204 along with the frame/fork, wheels, and other misc parts. Also added a fork that
@SlyRed donated

Then I took the bike to
@Pookie42 and we tried some fenders which weren't to be, they wouldn't work.
