My search for a Bike Badge led me to a quaint bicycle store in Sacramento, CA where this rather unique bike was being parted out. Did a few searches and somehow this may be the one that was on the display window of the San Francisco Flagship O Store on Market Street that was auctioned off to benefit Tyler Blick (the then 5 year old son of Steve Blick from Oakley's Sports Marketing)
Circa Spring of 2011
Was anyone following this auction and could provide further details?

Terry Cox from College Cyclery won the auction, so it might just be the same bike (but with an additional decal that could've been added after-the-fact).

Thanks for that info, T. I'm trying with the idea of restoring this back to it's almost original glory since the scuffs and scratches cannot he buffed out. I think originally this was auctioned off with a pair of black on black B1b. I read somewhere that only 200 of them were made so finding a pair to mount on the handles will be a challenge.

I would recommend getting as close as possible without getting it 100% accurate. They actually used 2 sets to grips to make the ones on the auctioned bike. They wanted an extended grip so they cut the tip off on one grip and then cut another grip's tip further down and added them together to make an extended grip:

You got eagles eyes! I don't think I can sacrifice a perfectly good set of rare grips just for extrnsion.
