"The bicycle itself is already an artwork on its own. Painting onto something that already existed was an interesting concept. It changes the way you see the object. These are not graphics or paint concepts. Rather, this is original art-ride it or display it on a wall!"
"Scott provided artist Lionel Smit with raw carbon Spark RC frames. Nino will keep one for his personal collection, and the other will go to the winner. Along with the frame, the components Scott chose are a work of art themselves. In other words, they didn't skimp, and the winner will get a truly spectacular race bike."
Scott has partnered with World Bicycle Relief, artist Lionel Smit, and professional cyclist Nino Schurter to create two unique, hand-painted Scott Spark RC race bikes. Only two frames exist, with Schurter keeping one for his personal collection and the other going to a raffle winner. Rather than applying graphics, Smit created original artwork directly on the raw carbon frames, treating the bikes as functional art pieces. The artist noted that painting on an already-artistic object like a bicycle frame changes how viewers perceive it. The winning bike features premium components including RockShox suspension, SRAM XX Eagle drivetrain, and Syncros finishing parts, making it a high-end race machine.
