Five Tiny Strider Custom balance bikes that were unveiled at the Sturgis Buffalo Chip last August, crossed the prestigious Mecum Auction stage in January on their way to new homes.
The Flying Piston Benefit at Mecum Auction showcased the tiny custom Strider Bikes that were customized by Diva Amy Skaling, John Shope of Dirty Bird Concepts, Carl Pusser of Walking Tall Cycles, Kirk Taylor of Custom Design Studios, Mike Tomas of Kiwi Indian Motorcycles and Steve Massicotte with Team Paughco.
The five little showpieces netted $8400 for the Flying Piston Charity that goes to the Strider Education Foundation.
