Mavic-Ritte bike auction to benefit World Bicycle Relief

Published November 21, 2014

HAVERHILL, Mass. (BRAIN) — To benefit World Bicycle Relief, Mavic is auctioning off a one-of-a-kind Ritte Vlaanderen road bike outfitted with Mavic’s 125th-anniversary Ksyrium wheel-tire system and SRAM Red 22 components. The bike was hand painted by Ritte founder Spencer Canon.

The Ritte x Mavic 125th Anniversary Vlaanderen is part of a collection of bikes designed and built to mark Mavic’s 125th year.

All proceeds from the auction will benefit World Bicycle Relief and its efforts to provide simple and sustainable bicycle transportation to entrepreneurs, health-care workers and students across rural Africa through sustainable work-to-own and study-to-own programs. Until Dec. 31, all donations (including this auction and up to $1 million) will be matched thanks to generous gifts from a small group of anonymous donors. More information can be found at www.worldbicyclerelief.org.

The eBay auction is overseen by online seller The Pro’s Closet.
