Biker Night to Feature Wade Franck Bike

A feature item to be sold as part of the 2016 Rotary fundraiser will be a bike that was hand built by Wade Franck, son of Ankeny Rotarian Jan Franck, who was killed in a car/bike accident this past summer.   Kyle's bike will be promoting the sale of the bike on their facebook page to all their contacts. 

 

The bike is described as:
