I think it's gross, especially due to the saddle and wheel reflectors.

Wonder if he realises that if he got Ant or Dec to ride his bike it would be worth three times as much

Probably but I'm sure you would find a way to reduce the "happy" effect of winning something nice.Wonder if he realises that if he got Ant or Dec to ride his bike it would be worth three times as much
Three times?!! I would say more like five if they rode it! But that's just me being picky! I get the impression you don't like anyone owning a bike ridden by someone well known!Wonder if he realises that if he got Ant or Dec to ride his bike it would be worth three times as much

I currently own a bike ridden by Mark Renshaw while at team Highroad, I also stated that I would buy specific bikes ridden by Mark Cavendish at a blink of an eye.. I have also owned a ex-team Sky dogma myself.... Your impression is wrong.

You must have an amazing bike collection, I would love to see some of those bikes, let alone ride them.

Not sure why I'm a kill joy.. If some fanboy wants such a bike, that's great.. In fact when you read back I actually stated that I Hope it finds itself in the hands of a fanboy and someone who will really appreciate and enjoy the bike.
Personally I'm not enthralled or place additional value on a bike based upon who has ridden it, my Renshaw bike was purchased because I was interested to see how Highroad implemented the Di2. As stated I would only be interested in buying specific Cavendish bikes and the reason for that is I remain interested in the features they have.
If it means a great deal to someone to sniff a seat Wiggo has sat on, then I'm seriously pleased for them, but IMHO its just a bike, the same as you can buy from any dealer and Wiggo is just a bloke..... I genuinely don't care who has ridden my bikes and I'm not going to get excited about it.
If a bike ridden by someone famous makes it more desirable then Jimmy Saviles collection must be a steal

I am possibly moving back to the UK in late Spring/early Summer, so I might just take you up on that, thank you. Where in the UK are you?

On this quote, can I ask a question!?
I can see you are Cav fanboy.. and I think the guy is a legend, but you say here that Wiggins only one cos Sky wanted him to and his team "toed the line". But as a sprinter, isnt' that exactly what they do for Cav!?In his book, which they talk about on the BBC site today, it says "as he looked for a team that would back his aim to win sprint stages and points jerseys". So would he be so successful if others didn't toe the line and put him in the best position to win? He still has to be brilliant to win, but then again, so did Wiggins in the other 3000 odd kms.
I can tell you don't like Wiggins, and thats fair enough, we all warm to whoever. but thats doesn't mean you demean the achievement any more than Cav's 23 stage wins mean any less cos he had help. it's a team sport whether for the whole thing or just the sprints. Just a thought and not having a pop...
