SRAM pART auction goes live on ebay
The project organised by Chicago parts maker SRAM to commission artists to make works inspired by boxes of 100 random parts to raise money for World Bicycle Relief has reached its climax.
This afternoon ebay started the bidding to sell all 50 pieces. The public auction follows a showing at the Las Vegas Interbike trade show in September and road.cc posted about this at the time; certainly one of the most interesting charity ideas we've seen in the business.
The auction runs until the end of November.

Art costs. Period!
What you would be buying is a 1 off..you would b the only person in the world to own it and your raising money for charity...
.... If I had the dosh, I would!
Fantastic idea
I do love Powerglide and The Sprinter, but not at that kinda money
Although the thought of giving money to the world bicycle relief fund is all good and well, normally auctions start at normal prices where everyone can get involved, the cheapest being $500 they seem to valuing it based on the price of their parts and not on the artistic value
Ah, but Gkam, how do you define 'artistic value?' What to one person is a pile of bike parts they'd want paying to put on their mantlepiece, to another is something that speaks at a whole other level. Who's right? All that matters is that out of the approximate 1,000,000 people that will see this project one way or another, it only takes 50 to decide to pay up between $500 and £5,000 for World Bicycle Relief and they'll get a bonus piece of art that will give them a lot of pleasure.
That sprinting monkey and the Motorbike are cool as...im my opinion the rest are just crocks of..
i reckon my 11 year old son could produce something similar. Nice to see some art that appears to be funded as recognition of some great technical engineering instead of just lining the pockets of someone who can blag some funding from the public purse though..
I think im ranting...ill stop now
Why start them so high?
I'm saying NOW, some of them just will not sell
