But I do think breast cancer gets too much attention. While colon, pancreatic and lung cancer still have the highest fatallity rates (atleast here in Denmark).
When my mom was diagnosed with lung cancer in late 2001, it was effectivly a death sentence. And treatment types have not changes much since. Unfortunately.
I don't know the statistics in the US. But here it's one in three, will either get cancer or have someone next of kin get it.
That's a very large part of the populous...
I'm sorry to hear about your mom. What color ribbon is it for lung cancer? My brother has/had a brain tumor, for brain cancer the ribbon color is grey. Boring, but logical I have to admit.
Lung cancer's ribbon is "clear" or white.
But the reason why I believe that breast cancer gets a not too much attention, is that here in Denmark. We have one yearly national fund raiser. And it's not for general cancer research, it's solely for breast cancer. And is called "Support the breasts" :-P
I'm not against that, at all. Don't get me wrong, all funding is great. But it very one sided here.
Dual Crown, waterbottle mount, and threaded BB!

@heavyp we do not sell reviews, and we review lots of bikes from brands that aren't advertisers. We strive to be fair in all our reviews, and there are lots of brands that are nervous about sending us test bikes because the stakes are so high.
@garygrimm the Wreckoning Park Edition is exactly what we've been trying to make happen, interesting bike for sure. We're not going to stop reviewing more XC-oriented bikes as well though.
congrats!

Tires don't last long out here so I try to wring ever last mile out of them! Just tossed on a new SE4.
Breast cancer survival rates are way up, and they have many tools to treat it. It's selfish but things might've turned out differently for my wife if there hadn't been so much attention (and money) paid to breast cancer funding.
Things are on the up and up! She and I joined up as a team and are actually doing the full 3 days of YSC West Coast Tour de Pink (200 mile YSC Fundraising ride). We've raised just over $4k between the two of us for the ride. We don't have a cool ass bike to put up, rather gonna let people watch us anguish in sweat and pain over 200 miles.
Super proud of the wife for making the 200 mile commitment only 3 years after diagnosis.
Check out the Criticism section.
Anyways, having somebody pass close to me due to cancer, f*ck cancer and f*ck businesses that ride the 'cancer-profit' wagon.
When I tried to donate via mobile phone, the following happened:
1. Press 'Donate'.
2. Fill in all required fields
3. Select PayPal and press 'Donate now'
4. Press 'Log in'
5. Log in to PayPal
6. I'm redirected to the previous site, where I have to provide my PayPal credentials again.
Step 6 was what bothered me. I tried again several times and today was the first time I wasn't asked to login again. I've now donated successfully, but still find it strange that I had to login to two different places before.
This seemed to be a temporary glitch though, because when I tried again today I was not asked again for my credentials and could directly donate after logging in to PayPal.
Alternatively it would be really sweet if decals were removable instead of being permanent.
Nobody is getting my money until someone solves the above.
Sell the bike and donate the proceeds?
1. Win the bike.
2. Sell the bike at a discount and you will still be ahead unless you buy more than 2000+/- entries.
3. Take the money from your sale and get whatever you want.
4. If you keep the bike the decals are easily removed.
Just a few good pages to raise your awareness on cancer:

"Customs fees and other applicable taxes will be the winner’s responsibilities."
In other words : if, for example, you live in Europe, you will probably have to pay the VAT on a 7k $ bike. Think of it.
Good on you, Evil Bikes!
So both.
I imagine Evil US are good but over here we had Luisimi the European distributor and Silverfish in the UK. Silverfish were OK although despite having frames in stock to sell to new victims, I still had to wait 3 months for one from the far east under warranty and all I ever got from Luisimi was lame excuses.
Sadly it put me right off, they are great riding bikes when you can ride them but I'm not brave to gamble my own money to find out if they have sorted themselves out. Especially when you have companies out there that can get a frame from Canada in days. I had a Devinci troy with an issue it was all dealt with online and I had a new frame within the week.
Honestly though... this way of thinking is ignorant AF.
Sorry that I don't find much humor in talking crap about great causes.
