The Prize

A special edition one of kind piece of design and technology to celebrate Vanity Fair's 10-year celebration!

Vanity Fair in collaboration with Rizoma have donated a red Metropolitan Bike 77|011 for the magazine's first 10 years!

The Metropolitan Bike 77|011 the new concept meets the exclusive design. The carbon monocoque frame and the belt drive create a visual and modern impact whereas all the other elements made in machined aluminum give it a uniqueness and lightness.

This is a unique piece and ideal to get around in style in an urban setting. It redesigns the concept of movement according to the new lifestyle standard. It’s technical, resistant and multifunctional thanks to the possibility of the “single speed” (the traditional use) and the “fixed gear” (very in vogue and where pedaling has to be slowed down in order to stop the bike).

Technical features: Structure: full carbon steel, Weight: 8 Kg, Wheels: 28”, Tyre: 25-622 ETRTO, Handlebars: machined aluminum, Seat: machined aluminum and carbon steel, Brakes: front and rear, Pulley-machined aluminum, Transmission: Carbon Belt System, One size suitable for 165-190 cm height.

The proceeds will support Vanity Fair 10 Project: eight young talents will receive a paid contract in selected companies; one person will attend a prestigious writing school and another one will be given the opportunity to publish a novel.

The Cause

The Child Priority Foundation came about through Condè Nast International. The principal behind the foundation is that knowledge means richness and dignity, however not everyone has access to this privilege. It’s a non-profit organizationand it helps those less fortunate who display talent and artistic potential and it offers a real opportunity to study. The Foundation works hand in hand with institutions on the National and International scene. It’s an ambitious project, and up until now all its expertise was used in creating a world of wealth but now it’s committed to raising funds and sponsorships in order to share opportunities.

Founding Members: Jonathan Newhouse; Giampaolo Grandi; Franca Sozzani.
