Oli Becking-Charity-Sale

Olympian's kit up for grabs

Published: November 18, 2009 at 8:55 am

It's fair to say that we like Oli Beckingsale. Not only is the Giant rider one of the finest cross-country talents this country has ever produced but he's a top bloke too. In the off-season he likes nothing more than relaxing down the battle cruiser with a swift half and a Ruby Murray, etc.

Well, now the World Cup rider is auctioning off some money-can't-buy kit on eBay all in the name of charity.

The items up for grabs are some one-off Beijing Olympics RockShox SID forks complete with custom union flag graphics, one of Oli's 2008 national champion's jerseys and a Giant Global Team skinsuit.

All proceeds will go to a charity called Springboard which helps pre-school kids with special needs in North Somerset. Search eBay UK sellers for olibeckcycling for your chance to own the pro-only exclusive kit.
