Bikes: It's complicated.
Does it come with the small allen wrench that The Prophet carried with him for mid-race micro saddle corrections?

I understand the pricing on the Merckx bike, but you would have to be a crazed Uber fan to go for that Gan collection without anything from Gilbert Duclos Lasalle in there

For that kind of money, I think I'd want certification from Eddy too. On the other hand, there have been less interesting sports memorabilia sold for a lot more money.

For that kind of money, I would want Eddy to give it to me personally and hang out with me for a couple weeks. Maybe let me spend a week or two a year at his house.

Bikes: I can count 'em on one hand
Brian Eno once confessed that he liked to explain to ‘young people’ that, back in the bad-old-low-tech-flared-trousered-analogue days things were so backward that you could fly from London to New York in three and a half hours and men regularly walked on the Moon. He might have added that you could buy an off-the-peg touring derailleur that weighed 145g.

I was trying to do the rough math on that myself -- a hair under 4k apiece basically
Stuart O' Grady is the only big fish in that list of bike's though , ---- his machines would command that much --- the others? Subject to speculation I guess

No shipping, if you can buy this rare bike, you can buy a ticket for a flight and take the bike by yourself in France ;-)
Quote from the ad --- stereotypical Frenchman
I wonder if you made the arrangements to pick up if he would just meet you at the French version of Wal Mart a'la a Craigslist score , then drive off leaving a dainty little plume of cigarette smoke in his wake

No, he's just foolin' with you. That's the cigarette lighter, of course. The French love their Gauloise.
