The season-opening Cape Epic kicked off marathon cross-country racing over the weekend, and we’re suckers for the custom XC bikes that the 2-person duos show up on. This year is the 20th anniversary of the iconic South African race, and there are plenty of custom paint jobs marking that milestone. XC legend Nino Schurter is racing a custom-painted Scott Spark RC.

You can’t simply go buy his bike. But Scott-SRAM put an exact replica up for auction to benefit World Bicycle Relief…

At the Absa Cape Epic, Nino Schurter of Scott-SRAM has paired up with friend Sebastian Fini of Lapierre-Mavic Unity – under the combined banner of World Bicycle Relief. “As South Africa is Nino’s favorite place to prepare for the race season, it was clear that the bike had to show the special connection to the country for his attempt to win the Cape Epic for a third time.

For his race bike, Nino’s 120mm Spark RC features “a unique design inspired by the South African national colors and a highly optimized setup for the rugged South African landscape, equipped with the all-new RockShox Flight Attendant XC suspension system”.

The bike is set up a bit differently than his usual World Cup race bikes, due to the tougher race environment, and the need to be self-sufficient day-after-day. “No Yanick the Mechanic nearby“.

Looks rad, but… I was a longtime supporter of WBR – almost 15 years of donating, until I saw what their CEO made. Given the high percentage his salary is to overall revenue (donations) and that revenue has been flat for many years, I decided to support other causes with my dollars. Sorry not sorry, a CEO should not make 4% of a 10MM annual revenue when he has no results to speak of.
