Supertouch has provided these sneek peek pictures of Lance Armstrong’s newly completed Supertouch-curated Trek art bikes for his run in the upcoming Giro d’Italia by artists Shepard Fairey and Kenny Scharf. Lending their creative talents, Shepard and Kenny created two different renditions for Lance’s upcoming Nike-backed “Stages” anti-cancer art show benefiting Livestrong that will debut on July 16th in Paris at the Galerie Emmanuel Perrotin.  Fans of the artist can have their chance at the  bikes during an auction on October 2nd at the NYC stop of the “Stages” art tour with all proceeds going to benefit Livestrong.

Getting up on Lance’s “daily driver” Trek Madone road bike, Shepard Fairey created a vibrant homage to Lance’s cancer fighting foundation while including ancient patterning in homage of Italy’s rich architectural details. NYC Pop Art legend Kenny Scharf took a totally different approach to Lance’s Trek TTX time trial cycle and created the “lightspeed” space bike that will hopefully hurtle Tex across the finish line in record time.
