G'day,

man..some of these pro's will sell you the lint outa there belly button ifya make an offer!......cos it's the end of the season, some are swapping teams, don't wanna take it back to europe with them etc etc....A few years ago a mate offered some bloke in a 'mercury' kita $100 for the lot. he got bib, jersey, gillet, armwarmers & socks, lid, winter top.....the pro, (dunno who it was) had no problem undressing in full public view & handing the stuff over!. I saw 2 blokes come to blows over Robbie McEwens bike a few years ago...robbie was auctioning the thing.....litespeed (vortex i think) went for $3K with wheels & gruppo as ridden in the last stage...to bad he's a midget or i woulda been onto that myself......some dwarf got himself a bargain!,

cheers
