TdF Grand Depart Yellow Bikes

[RMH64]

Trying to find a couple of the yellow bikes that were displayed in or around Sheffield, any clues anyone?

I saw one a few weeks ago which IIRC was on the A616 Stocksbridge Bypass, (could be mistaken though) on my way to Sheffield, and it was still there a couple of weeks ago when I was going over to Nottingham.

I came from the M60 at Denton over Woodhead Pass and followed the A616, so it was definitely somewhere along that route.

@RMH64 why do you want one anyway? Just get any old BSO and spray it yellow, that's all any of them would have been anyway.

Surely we need to keep these to paint in whatever the appropriate colour might be for the Tour of Yorkshire?

I sometimes see a young lad riding one around Nether Edge.

I'd like to think there'd be a hat tip to the Yorkshire flag but, seeing as the ToY is an ASO co-production, it'll be yellow again.

I saw a couple yesterday and they were not even on the actual route taken through this area!

A cottage on the Cragg Vale climb (which was on the stage 2 route) is still proudly featuring a polka dot paint job! I will take a photo of it next time I ride up there.

They never were in Sheffield - one of them was in Waitrose car park.

No idea from me as I'm not in the area but: Hi and to the site.
