Sram auctions off art made from bike components

If you are looking for a special Christmas present for bike lovers, you should find it at the "Sram pArt Project". As part of the "World Bicycle Relief" program, the US component manufacturer is auctioning off works of art created from bicycle components.

On the online auction site E-Bay, Sram is auctioning off works by artists who have transformed bike components into works of art. Sram has sent a box containing 100 high-quality parts from Sram, Truvativ, Rock Shox and Avid to selected artists - with the commission to create sculptures from them.

Some of these works were exhibited at this year's US bike show Interbike, a selection of the works will be presented in an exhibition in Chicago on November 30th and sold to the highest bidders in the e-bay auction.

The proceeds from the "Sram pArt Project" will be donated to the "World Bicycle Reliefs" program. This program, launched by US component manufacturer Sram, aims to secure the livelihoods of children in African countries thanks to bicycles and to promote the independence of children in less developed regions with the help of the "power of the bicycle". Since the program was founded, over 75,000 bicycles have been provided and over 700 local mechanics have been trained in countries such as Kenya, Mozambique, South Africa, South Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
