When he said, "It's not about the bike," he should have had added that it *is* about the bike if the team needs to sell something to raise cash in a hurry.

From the WSJ:

"Robert Burns, Trek's general counsel, said in an interview that the company was aware that bikes meant for U.S. Postal riders were being sold, but said it didn't know what the money was used for. "Occasionally, you'd see a bike on the Internet somewhere where it would surprise us," he said. "We didn't want to see that stuff getting sold on the market. It should be going to a better use than that." "
I know you will find this stunning, but this is a pretty common practice.

Thanks for playing.
