Stages 09: Design for Cause

stages_09

STAGES is a global art exhibition to raise funds and awareness for the fight against cancer. It is a partnership between Lance Armstrong and Nike, and all of the work in the show is available for purchase with proceeds directly benefiting the Lance Armstrong Foundation. STAGES features work by Shepard Fairey, Damien Hirst, Ed Ruscha, KAWS, Kenny Scharf, Geoff McFetridge, and many other influential artists from around the world. In support of STAGES, Trek has teamed up with Lance, Nike, and the artists of STAGES to create a series of custom-painted bikes that were ridden by Lance in his return to Cycling this year, and 9 of these bikes were recently auctioned off by Sotheby’s, raising over $1.25 Million dollars for the Lance Armstrong Foundation!

More information about the bikes can be found here, along with lots of pictures and insight into their design and fabrication: http://www.trekbikes.com/us/en/stages/
