Add this bike to the list of potential holiday gifts for the cyclist who already has everything. French wheel and apparel maker Mavic is auctioning a limited edition Seven Axiom SL spec'd with a Ksyrium 125th Anniversary wheel-tire system and Shimano Ultegra 11-speed components.

All proceeds from the auction will benefit the Davis Phinney Foundation and its efforts to offer programs that provide the information, tools and inspiration that can be used to live well with Parkinson's disease. The auction ends Sunday, December 21 at 8 p.m. EST. At last check there were 35 bids, with a top offer of $4,850. The Mavic anniversary Seven Axiom SL retails for $9,395.

The bike is part of a collection of bikes designed and built to celebrate Mavic's impressive anniversary. The frame has a stunning gloss and matte black paint scheme with subtle touches of the immediately recognizable yellow pantone Mavic is so well known for.

Seven Cycles founder Rob Vandermark said, "We have a long running partnership with Mavic, and of course we admire their history in this sport we all love, so we were honored to be asked to build this bike."

"We wanted to give each builder the freedom to make the frame a representation of the builders' relationship with Mavic both professionally and personally, and hoped that the Ksyrium 125 wheel-tire system would inspire the creative process as well," said Chad Moore, director of marketing at Mavic. "This project was an opportunity for Mavic to connect with brands in the US who are innovators and standouts in the industry and we couldn't be more pleased with the partners we've had in this endeavor."
