However, what I am not sure is whether or not, you can contact those stores directly on the net. I certainly, does not know their e-mail addresses, if any. The bottomline is that, it is easier to wire him money to buy the bicycle out there in The Gambia as opposed to buying it here and paying for the cost of freight to Africa. In any case, US$150.00 should be able to get him a decent bicycle to ride to and from school. If there is anything I can help you with, hesitate not to ask me.
