Giant Rider's ‘Money Can’t Buy Auction’ for Children’s Charity

Looking for some unique cycling memorabilia? Giant rider Oli Beckingsale is auctioning off three ‘money can’t buy’ items to raise money for Springboard Opportunity Group, a North Somerset charity providing support, learning and play facilities for children aged 0-5 years with special needs and their families. 

Riding at the cutting edge of bicycle equipment testing as a professional racer means Oli is often lucky enough to receive items that are special edition and unique.

“Normally after racing it sits around in my garage or is given to friends and family,” said Oli 

“..but I have decided to get some of the best bits that money cannot buy and auction them off to raise money for a charity called Springboard Opportunity Group.”

Oli has been a professional racer for 12 years and career highlights include three Olympic appearances, a Commonwealth Silver Medal and 5 Senior National Championship titles. He currently rides the super-fast Giant Anthem X Advanced SL having played a role in it’s development during prototype testing, along with US rider Adam Craig.

The following items are available to the highest bidder with all proceeds going to Springboard Opportunity Group;

- Rock Shox SID Beijing fork
This fork is a Rock Shox SID Team fork with special graphics and was only given to sponsored riders for the 2008 Beijing Olympics. There were a dozen or so made and this is a one off as it also has the British flags on it.  Also included with the fork is a Team GB Olympic T-Shirt which were only given to members of Team GB at the Beijing Olympics.

- Giant National Champions Jersey 2008
This jersey was one of 5 that was printed for Oli for the 2008 season when he was crowned National Champion. Unworn and cool as ice!
