Budnitz Bicycles is a company based in Burlington, Vermont, that is supporting artists in a unique way. It has created a One of One project that features one of a kind designs that will be auctioned off to the highest bidder. What makes this project particularly impressive is the fact that 100% of the proceeds will be going back to the artist who hand-painted the bike.
The first One of One edition from Budnitz Bicycles is a steel Model No.3 by abstract painter Dalek. Perfect for sunshine states, it's a technicolored design that will surprisingly appeal to both men and women. Dalek is known for his love of vibrant hues, so it comes as no surprise that he would embrace his signature style for Budnitz Bicycles. The silent bid for Model No.3 will be held until August 15, 2015.
