If I hadn't just bought a new frame I'd bid on that, I support boobs.

Yeah, wouldn't want to support a great charity or anything.
It's not that, its just not in my budget. I'll let everyone know when I start my fund raiser for my new shoulders and knees that are fixable, I have lots of "used" parts to auction off.:rolleyes:

Kudos for wearing a pink shirt and doing what's he's told?
Geez, and I thought I was cynical... I seem to remember the first year he did this he said it was because a friend of his, from the Montreal area, had had breast cancer, so he had thought of this as a way of raising funds. Of course I could be mistaken, but I think it came from him, not from the marketing minds of the Monster Energy/Specialized team...

That's what I recall as well. Pretty sure it is Sam's initiative.

I think it might be some of his sponsors bidding on the bike. Get a nice centerpiece for a lobby and make a (tax write off) donation to a charity. Win-Win.
That is also what i was thinking, you would have to imagine specialized themselves would like to keep it, they do have a collection of historically significant bikes in their home base. As you mentioned, they just write it off at the end of the year anyways
