A bike I thought I would never even entertain selling, but thought I would just see if there was any interest. It’s more of an art piece rather than a bike to ride, although I have debated about building it up. This bike took 15 hours of prep and 150 hours to paint. I’m a huge Vettel fan, so this was a tribute to his ever changing helmet designs as a template of the pinstripes, the asymmetric design with opposing colors on each side, the chrome, the red bull glitter etc. We also included the World Championship wreath and the years for his 4 World Championships.
It’s a size Large frameset, with a Zipp Vuka Aero handlebar painted to match. I don’t even know what to even ask for price wise because there is nothing else like it, and especially with the actual RB logo’s on there. The only thing on the bike that isn’t paint is the pinstripes. There are a few chips on the handlebar where it meets the fork steerer tube, but would not be noticeable when assembled.
The bike may be worth more to me than others since I am emotionally attached with all the time and effort involved. With that being said, even at 7-8k I would have to think long and hard about whether I wanted to part with it. If interested, let’s chat and feel free to ask any questions.
I’d probably ride that thing until I died… or simply put it in a museum. Maybe Redbull will buy it from you? It’s a fantastic looking set up and I wish my Shiv looked like that!

hate RB and the original formula(tried 20 years ago in Belgium…yuck!), but the paint job is very nice. Contact the company and see what they say.
of course this is nuts but you already know that. I hope you find someone nuttier. In the meantime, I sent this post to a buddy who works in marketing at RB out of the ATL office.
