At LIVESTRONG , we fight for the 28 million people around the world living with cancer today. There can
be — and should be — life after cancer for more people. That’s why we kick in at the moment of diagnosis,
giving people the resources and support they need to fight cancer head-on. We find innovative ways to
raise awareness, fund research and end the stigma about cancer that many survivors face. We connect
people and communities to drive social change, and we call for state, national and world leaders to help
fight this disease. Anyone anywhere can join our fight against cancer. Join us at LIVESTRONG .org.
THE COLLABORATION
Trek has a rich tradition of partnering with Lance Armstrong to outfit him with custom-painted bikes, starting
with the “Sabreline” Project One bike Lance briefly rode during the 2002 Tour de France. For the rest of
his career — and even after retirement — Lance has ridden Project One painted bikes. That’s why, after he
announced his intention to return to professional cycling in 2009, it was natural for the Trek Creative Group
to begin working on a new set of custom-painted bikes for Lance.
During a conversation with Trek’s President John Burke, Lance discussed the importance of the
LIVESTRONG Global Cancer Campaign and his desire to link the best contemporary artists working today
with Trek in an effort to raise awareness and generate funds to benefit LIVESTRONG . Trek responded by
providing each selected artist with consultation to describe fabrication possibilities based on Trek’s
custom-formulated coatings. The artists were briefed on traditional paint and airbrush techniques as well
as masking and decal options in order to pick the methods best suited for each design. Each bicycle was
uniquely handled — some frames were decorated strictly with paint, some required extensive decal work,
while others hybridized production techniques and pushed the envelope of aesthetic possibility on a bicycle.
The end results speak for themselves: beautiful bikes with a mission.
LIVESTRONG would like to offer a special thanks to all of the artists and their representatives, as well as
John Burke, Eric Lynn, Mark Parker and Jamie O’Shea for making this project a reality. Countless individuals
at Sotheby’s have played an important role in the creation of this project, specifically Eliza Osborne and
Jamie Niven. For this, Lance and all of us at LIVESTRONG say thank you.

2 KENNY SCHARF
A true living Pop Art legend, Kenny Scharf is one of the few
remaining masters of the original form still working at the peak of his
powers, with an imagination and drive that remains undiminished.
Scharf first gained renown among the fertile East Village art
community of the 1980s, exhibiting his neon-emblazoned works with
contemporaries such as Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat, and
developing a proto-Pop graffiti style at the creative dawn of the
medium. A pioneer in the now-commonplace intersection of fine art
and commerce, Scharf opened his legendary product outpost, the
Scharf Shack, at a time when doing so was staking claim to a truly
new crossover frontier. Alongside Keith Haring’s Pop Shop, the Scharf
Shack laid the groundwork for the art-for-the-masses model
popularized by recent artists such as KAWS and Takashi Murakami.

To commemorate Lance’s run in the centennial edition of the Giro

d’Italia, Kenny Scharf transformed Lance’s already futuristic Trek
TTX time trial bike into a space traveling machine, emblazoned with
a field of stars and planets and speeding red and blue comet
characters streaking across the frame and wheels. Scharf's plans to
add a Hyperdrive motor unfortunately clashed with UCI regulations,
but Lance's leg power proved more than sufficient to propel this
celestial ride to the podium.

4 MARC NEWSON GRUPPO SRAMRedTT

Born in Sydney, Australia in 1963, and based in London, Marc Newson

is a revolutionary designer whose work in the fields of aerospace,
furniture, product, jewelry, interior, and vehicle design have earned
him countless accolades from the design community. He counts
companies like Nike, Ford, Dom Pérignon, Cappellini, Qantas,
Samsonite and Jaeger Le Coultre among his A-list clientele, and
Newson’s now iconic Lockheed Lounge remains the most expensive
piece of furniture ever sold at auction. In 2005, he was selected as one
of Time magazine's 100 most influential people. In 2007, he
completed the cabin design for Spaceplane, a sub orbital spacecraft
to be produced by EADS Astrium, scheduled to take passengers into
space beginning in 2012. His work is included in the permanent
collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, London’s
Design Museum, Musée national d’Art moderne-Centre Georges
Pompidou, and the Vitra Design Museum. He is represented by
Gagosian Gallery.
As his first run on the Tour de France after retiring from professional
racing three years ago, 2009’s opening time trial was one of the
most high-profile moments in Lance's historic comeback and one
appropriately commemorated by Newson’s graphic treatment of his
Trek TTX. Featuring subtle flat black paint offset by glossy contrast
details including Newson’s stroboscopic rear wheel design that appears
to pulse as it spins, the bike brought a new level of design sophistication
to the most legendary cycling event in the world while simultaneously
flying the flag of cancer awareness in LIVESTRONG yellow.

7 CALIFORNIA1274 “STOLEN BIKE” WHEELS

LiteTT,Carbon
CarbonSportsLightweight
DiscWheelandBontrager
Lance’s return to professional cycling in support of LIVESTRONG merited the creation of two Aeolus9.0FrontWheel
very special bikes. Designed by Trek for competition in his first ever Tour of California race in GRUPPO SRAMRedTT
February, Lance’s twin custom “1274/27.5” Madone 6.9 and TTX 9.9 SSL cycles were designed
to be messaging machines as well as road warriors. The number 1274 signifies the number of
days Armstrong was in retirement following his final (and seventh) Tour de France victory in
2005. During this time, nearly 27.5 million people worldwide died from cancer. It’s a totally
unacceptable statistic that ultimately prompted Lance to get back on the bike to raise the yellow
flag of cancer awareness on a heightened global scale. Graphically, the bikes are works of art,
and represent the pinnacle of Trek’s aesthetic engineering. The distinctive paint schemes were
designed within the Trek creative team, and painted in their state-of-the-art Waterloo, Wisconsin
facility using no decals. Look close, and you’ll realize the challenge in not applying vinyl stickers
for graphics. Using a complex series of paint masks, each letter, logo and design element was
masked to size, painted and then covered for the next layer in a painstaking 40-hour process.
If the TTX seems familiar, that’s because it’s currently the most famous bike in the world. On
February 15, 2009 it was stolen from Lance’s equipment trailer in Sacramento after its run in the
Tour of California prologue. Though it was recovered by police shortly afterward in time for
use by Lance in the time trial (the two thieves were quickly caught and prosecuted), an
immediate replacement was issued by Trek as much-needed backup. On it was painted the
legend “Ride this one like YOU stole it.”
