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
