In the spirit of transparency I sent this to Christine Tinberg (Founder of BTCC) this morning:
*Hi Christine,* *Admittedly I should have reached out before we started this project but....here we are. Not sure if you're familiar with Rivendell Bicycle Works but there's a few of us on a google forum and an idea sparked to get a tandem frame....hopefully entire tandem donated to the BTCC. We can talk about logistics and ideas and coordination etc etc. Hopefully you think this is a cool idea. I didn't want to get too far ahead of myself in planning without first getting in contact with you. I personally promise that I will not allow the project to become a burden, financial or otherwise. Long story short we started the fundraiser yesterday and we're already more than halfway there:* *https://www.gofundme.com/manage/rbw-owners-bunch-hubbahhubbah-tandem-fundraiser* *I'll try and reach out to you later today (I'm on the east coast) or you are always free to call my cell or email (585-698-XXXX).* *Cheers,* *Alex * I'll update everyone once I have more information.... The response has been overwhelming! You all are a wonderful bunch. Having made the mistake of starting the Go Fund Me, I take responsibility in seeing this to the end. I just might need to fly out to Riv HQ and personally deliver/ride this bike to Topanga (Laughing maniacally) Cheers everyone Alex in Rochester -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
