Petacchi's Pinarello Dogma went for Euro4,610 / US$5,598 / Aus$7,409
Petacchi's came with Cosmic Carbons. I assume that the retail price would be around $12,000 Aus, from a domestic LBS.
Better value than Henks Colnago, in the sense that the value should be maintained.
What is the better cred on Hell Ride. Riding Petacchi's Dogma or winning Hell Ride

or is it strictly poseur value

because I could have bought the Dogma but would get shunted out the back once it hits Oliver's hill. Hahahah, no respect to the bike.
Heras' Vuelta winning bike of 2005

went for Euro24,600 / US$29,876 / Aus$39,537
Manolo Saiz ended up buying the bike, probably knowing the drug positive was in the works and therefore the buyer would end up wanting a refund
