The Radavist

Lachlan Morton announced on his Instagram Wednesday morning that he’ll be auctioning off the jersey he wore for the entirety of this summer’s Alt-Tour, his solo transit of the Tour de France route, which he rode ahead of the peloton and completed the entire TdF route.

Lachlan plans to donate the proceeds from the auction to Pedaling Minds, a Louisville, CO-based organization that works in schools to teach students collaborative thinking, teamwork, problem-solving, and coordination through a program designed to build self-confidence, using bikes as tools for learning.

This is a unique piece of memorabilia of a kind not often available. If you think your readers would be interested, I’d be grateful if you’d share this opportunity with them. The auction will end at 5:45 am MST on Wednesday, Dec. 15, and no, he won’t be auctioning off his bibs as well!

Bid at eBay.

Each year, Niner builds a handful of custom RIP 9 RDO bikes, painted in a custom theme, and auctioned off to raise money for IMBA. This year, a small, medium, and large up for auction on eBay, so if you fancy one of these builds and have some coin to toss at a good cause, check them out!

See the auctions at eBay and more photos below.

It’s great seeing the cycling community come together in time of need:

“This bike is being auctioned as a fundraiser to support the North Valley Community Foundation’s Northern California Fire Relief Fund to assist the many community organizations serving evacuees and first responders from the devastating Camp Fire now burning in Butte County, CA. 100% of the proceeds from this auction will be donated. Now is your chance to own an amazing hand-built bike from well-renowned builder Bruce Gordon, and help fund fire relief at the same time. If you can’t bid, please consider donating, www.nvcf.org

This is being sold by Mark Norstad, owner of Paragon Machine Works. We’ve been building bike components for 35 years, and I’m now selling some of my personal bikes acquired over this time.”

Check out this listing at eBay.

… and there’s something for everyone. That Rene Herse is a rare find and the Frejus track is literally straight off the boards. See the full eBay auction list at Cycling WMD’s profile.

Remember that Mavic 125 ANS project I covered earlier this year? Well, bike by bike, they’re hitting eBay via the Pro’s Closet.

Check out more information below!

Stoked to see these photo and that sick bike going on eBay for a good cause!

“Mavic is proud to offer this very limited edition Ritte Vlaanderen bike with our Ksyrium 125 Anniversary wheel-tyre system and SRAM Red 22 components.

Hand-painted by Ritte founder Spencer Canon, this bike is truly one-of-a-kind. The seat mast is uncut in order to fit a wide range of potential owners of this piece of history. The Ritte x Mavic 125th Anniversary Vlaanderen is part of a collection of bikes designed and built to celebrate the 125th year that Mavic has been your trusted partner in cycling.

All proceeds from the auction will benefit World Bicycle Relief and their efforts to provide simple and sustainable bicycle transportation to entrepreneurs, healthcare workers and students across rural Africa through sustainable work-to-own and study-to-own programs. Until 12/31/14 all donations (including this auction and up to $1 million) will be matched thanks to generous gifts from a small group of anonymous donors.  To learn more about the impact of WBR please watch their new video.

Special thanks to Ritte, SRAM, Ritchey and The Pro’s Closet for making this bike and auction possible. All images provided by John Watson at ‘The Radavist’.”

This looks so good. Here’s the scoop:

“Specialized Bicycles has been lucky to serve the greater cycling community by striving to produce products that and inspire to improve riders lives for 40 years. In the year of our 40th anniversary we simply want to say ‘thank you’ to the riders and give back to one of the best bicycle charities, World Bicycle Relief (WBR).”

The framebuilding community is responding to Rob English’s wreck in many ways and this one in particular comes from over the pond in the UK where Talbot Frameworks is auctioning off a custom geometry frame.

Head over to eBay for the full scoop.

To commemorate the the 2014 Tour of California’s women’s circuit race, Ritte is auctioning off a one-of-a-kind Bosberg size small (53cm TT, 44cm ST). All proceeds from the auction will go to the Women’s Cycling Association. Get your bid in now because the auction will only the length of the ATOC: Sunday, May 11th – May 18th.

This one’s for all you big guys… 60cm of Mosaic SSCX fun.

Yeah… Cycle Smithy isn’t messing around with this one. A Columbus MAX Laser, featured here on the site before, fully restored, and laced with only the finest components. I can’t get over how pristine of a job Cycle Art did restoring this machine to its original state. Head over to eBay for the full parts list and BIN price.

M-m-m-molteni Monday! While Tracko’s got a sweet Merckx Mondays post up, I’m adding to the bike coveting with this sick Molteni Pista up on eBay. If I had the money and if this thing was a little bit bigger, I’d swoop it up for sure. Some background, this is being sold by a reader, who’s a photographer in need of some new glass. I’ve been there before and it’s a tough sacrifice to make.

See the rest of Anthony’s Eddy Merckx Pista in high res here or try your luck, bidding on it at eBay!

In a huge push to raise money for Ambitious about Autism, Rapha is auctioning off 41 products, during their Bordeaux-Paris 2013 challenge, ranging from signed Ben Ingham photos, to a 1986 Tour de France white jersey from Andy Hampsten, various Oakley products, two days at a Majorca training camp with Team Sky, various bikes and other rarities from cycling’s history.

I love Mike Mulholland’s work and when Christian posted this up to Flickr, I had to share it. Especially after I saw it on eBay for a deal!

People go absolutely nutty for these Ti GT track frames and it’s easy to see why. The Buy it Now is around $2,000 USD (frameset), which isn’t a steal but that is one rad frame.

Love the Cinelli Laser? Not into the new carbon model? Got $17,000 collecting dust? Look no further.

A few weeks ago, eBay yanked the auction for this Kinfolk Cobalt complete track bike. Well, it’s back, so if you’ve been looking for a noble steed, check the auction out here.

I know what you’re thinking but this is not my old track bike. It’s actually a few years older than my bike was. This one’s a bit smaller too and it’s ending today on eBay…
