Smile Train deal (there's a link, this is short)

It kind of works like this: You donate to Smile Train on the Rivendell Fund, and we create a credit on your account for 75 percent as much as you donated. Donate $100, get a $75 credit; donate $87, get a credit for $65.25. It's not dollar for dollar, but if it were, well---we'd be, like, donating for you, and you wouldn't feel fantastic about that. We're happy to cover you 75 percent, though, up to $300.
In order to get your credit, forward the instantaneous email receipt that you receive from SmileTrain when you make your donation to Dave (dave@rivbike.com).
He will do the math and create a credit invoice on your Rivendell account. Give him 24 to 36 hours to do it, maybe a little longer on the weekends. He will email you a PDF of your credit. It will be automatically be used on your next order.
And if you plan to buy a complete bike between now and May 1, it gets even better. In that case, with a minimum $200 Smile Train donation (for which you get $150 credit toward that bike), we'll also include a Campy front derailer ($55, you'd need it anyway); a Nitto handlebar (any model, up to $75, and you'd need it anyway, too; and a Nitto seat post (whichever one we have in stock, either the $65 Crystal Fellow or the $75 S83).
Important note: If you make a donation planning to take advantage of the above offer for a complete bike, please tell us at the time that you send the email with the donation receipt. Otherwise, we will assume you are not, and credit you accordingly.
So for a $200 donation to Smile Train, you save about $345 on your complete bike. Our goal is to sell bikes, sure, but our loftier goal is to pay the cost of cleft palate surgeries for 100 children (at $250 per surgery).
You get a tax deduction (Smile Train mails you the receipt). You still get a 5% rebate credit next year on your bike purchase--effectively a discount. And for that $200, you get about $345 off your complete bike.
Any questions, email
