This one’s to help all our friends and families affected by the events in Japan. I personally have family in Japan so this catastrophe hits “home” for me. We’re doing what we can to help out.

Leader Bikes and iMiNUSD have come together to raffle off a 2011 725 track frame, i806A fork and a Red iMiNUSD Chain Tee for $5. For every $5 raffle ticket sold, $5 goes directly to the Japan relief fund. Raffle will end Monday 3/21 @ 7pm.
