USA Cycling eBay Auction

June 30, 2003 (Colorado Springs, CO) – After a hugely successful first half of the first ever USA Cycling eBay auction, a second lot of items has been posted and is now up for grabs. The second half of the auction contains 36 items donated by various stars of cycling which can be viewed at www.usacycling.org/?ebay.htm

Included in this round are various Lance Armstrong-autographed items such as his book entitled It's not About the Bike, The Sports Illustrated issue which named him SI's Sportsman of the Year, and a rare 2002 Tour de France profile card of stage 11, which Armstrong won and took the yellow jersey en route to a fourth consecutive tour victory.

Also featured in this round are a Tinker Juarez-autographed jersey from the 2000 Olympic Games, a 2000 Olympic Superbike frame, a Tour de France classification medal, an autographed Mike McCarthy World Champion jersey, a Tyler Hamilton-autographed CSC jersey, a Dylan Casey-autographed Olympic skinsuit, and much more.

Items bearing the name of cycling's most decorated athletes and teams including Ned Overend, Rishi Grewel, Greg LeMond, Fred Rodriguez, Chris Carmichael, Frankie Andreu, Stephen Roche, Geneviève Jeanson, and Marty Nothstein, in addition to team gear from the 7-Eleven, Motorola, T-Mobile, and Saturn teams are available.

USA Cycling created the eBay Auction to raise money in efforts to fund the development and track programs that USA Cycling supports. All monies raised will go directly to the U-23 program, USA Cycling's Track Program, and to the junior level mountain bike, road and track programs. USA Cycling is building the pipeline of athletes that will represent the USA in international competition in the future and such fundraising is essential to the operation of development camps, stipends, and travel for young athletes.
