If you want to own a piece of cycling history that no one else has, donate to Outride, and have an extra $50K lying around, listen up. The Vault by Robb Report (home to the “world’s rarest shopping experience“) is currently auctioning off a unique piece of cycling kit. Now you can own the same bike Dutch powerhouse Demi Vollering and the SD Worx–Protime team rode in the 2024 Tour de France Femmes. The auction will benefit the charity Outride, founded by Former Specialized CEO Mike Sinyard.
SD Worx–Protime Custom S-Works Tarmac SL8
The Vault is auctioning off an exclusive team bike build from Specialized. The bike in question is an S-Works Tarmac SL8 SD with custom Worx–Protime graphics and the exact spec the team uses.
The auction winner will have the bike custom-made for them in their size. The bike will arrive signed by the 2023 Tour de France Femmes (and Strade Bianche, the Ardennes Tripple, and Dutch National Road Championship…) winner Demi Vollering, accompanied by a signed kit.
What’s a $50K Bike Spec?
The frame is an S-Works Tarmac SL8 in the exclusive SD Worx–Protime “Dream State” paint. This colorway is not available for commercial purchase. Specialized Racing will custom-build the bike, and the purchaser will have the option of selecting a size.
The Custom S-Works Tarmac SL8 arrives with ‘Pro-only’ SRAM Red AXS components (lighter? better bearings?) for shifting and braking. For wheels, a pair of Roval Rapide CLX II Team wheels in an SD Worx colorway which are also not commercially available. The cockpit is a one piece a Roval Rapide bar/stem combo, built to the auction winner’s specifications. Last but not least, the saddle is an S-Works Power w/mirror in your width of choice, featuring a custom-painted shell to match the bike.
That’s Not All
The custom Specialized bike will be marked as No. 1 of 1, with the purchaser’s name added, just like Specialized’s pro athlete models. The purchaser of this bike can’t ride around in just any kit; they have to match. So, the bike comes with one official SD Worx–Protime race kit in the purchaser’s size. This kit is the same one designed uniquely for the 2024 Tour de France Femmes and signed by Demi Vollering.
