Dropbar Bike Repair in Watford is raffling off a custom-built bespoke road bike to raise money for Prostate Cancer Awareness Month in March.
Husband-and-wife bike repair team Shaun and Andi Forsythe started the company in January with a goal of raising money for cancer charities, alongside repairing bicycles and building a friendly community.
Their new workshop on Riverside Road hosts maintenance workshops and talks, and will host group rides once a month for cyclists of all abilities, as well as family-friendly rides.
The raffle initiative is deeply personal for Andi and Shaun after both their parents were diagnosed with cancer last year. The money raised from the bike raffle will go to Prostate Cancer UK.
The bike was built by expert mechanic Shaun and has a minimum value of £1,300. To watch the bike being built, you can visit the shop’s Instagram page

Andi said: “We said Dropbar is about the three Cs: cyclists, community and cancer charities.
“Last year, we both faced the devastation of having a parent diagnosed with cancer. My father was a mechanic, and in building this business, I feel like we’re honouring his legacy while making a real impact and doing as much good as we can as a small business.”
Shaun added: “We’re the new kids on the block, and the support from the community has been incredible. This raffle is our way of showing our thanks and doing something meaningful!”
Tickets cost £8 each and are available to buy throughout March at www.shorturl.at/0hYdJ
The draw will take place on Tuesday, April 1.
