Win one of two 'Brompton to Basecamp' Bikes
Greenford, Greater London, United Kingdom
Aim
Win one of two special edition Brompton Folding Bikes that have been all the way to Everest Basecamp and back - a bike with a story to tell!
Seb Mackenzie-Wilson and Ed Mills are CEO and COO of Vigilance and in 2023 they took on the challenge to ride to Everest Base Camp on two trusty Brompton Folding Bikes.
Travelling from Kathmandu at 1324m above sea level via Phaplu at 2469m and on up to Everest Base Camp at 5364m, these bikes have seen some serious altitude and terrains - achieving a vertical ascent of well below 500m above sea level. To take on the challenge you’d think that the Bromptons would have taken on a lot of repairs but they've had a very low failure rate - just one puncture and a broken gear shifter between them.
You can read the full story of their epic challenge here.
Raising money for The Gurkha Welfare Trust, the pair have donated their trusty steeds to raise money for their challenge.
A ticket into the prize draw will get you one entry to win one of the two famous bikes. Whether you’re planning to ride it to Basecamp, or just around your local park, the bikes have had a full service and will come with a full certification of repairs to ensure that you have a smooth ride.
Fully serviced and signed by Brompton CEO Will Butler-Adams, this is your chance to donate to a good cause and own a slice of history too.
