September 7, 2023

LOUISVILLE, CO /ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ – More than three decades ago, a lasting bond was forged between Ben Serotta and Davis Phinney through their shared passion for racing bicycles. In a pivotal moment, Serotta meticulously crafted Phinney’s bicycle for the 1984 Olympics, marking the start of an enduring collaboration that spanned over ten remarkable years of Phinney’s illustrious competitive cycling career. Now, Serotta Cycling, under the visionary leadership of Ben Serotta, is poised to uphold this rich legacy by designing an exclusive custom bicycle for the upcoming Davis Phinney Foundation event, the Serotta Cycling Sweeps.

A model of innovation, Serotta Cycling is going to build one lucky winner a Serotta SE T9 (Signature Edition, Titanium) worth $12,500. It is a designed to order, custom-crafted bicycle for either a ride on paved roads, gravel, or a bit of both. Serotta will build a bicycle that inspires the winner of the Serotta Sweeps to ride more.

The event will run from September 1 – 30, 2023. There are two ways to win:

1. Sign up by making a $20 or larger contribution to support the Davis Phinney Foundation and entering personal information online at www.davisphinneyfoundation.org on the Serotta Bike Sweeps page.
