Own Cavendish's Venge $15k

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Meh! I'd rather buy Voeckler's 2012 Tour C59.

I am not familar with the prices on this bike. If I were to walk into a store and buy this bike new, what would it cost? I wouldn't pay extra because of who owned the bike plus now it is used.

Probably about the same. The bike with DA is $9200. Add Di2, Zipps, the bars, stem, saddle, etc, and you get another $5 K

If I won the bidding for Wiggo's bike, it would laugh at me the first time I turned the pedals.

I don't care if Jesus friggin Merckx wrote it, it's still just a friggin USED bicycle.

I can pay that much at the LBS for a NEW one with a full warranty.

The problem with wiggo is that he is still not as legendary as lemond or other riders.

For $15K the bike had better give me a massage before, during, and after my ride.

Any internet fit specialists in da house?
Wiggins is gangly 6' 3" - that 56cm frame MUST be too small for him and why he unloaded it :-).
BTW is that a 130 stem?

I'd pay $15K if it gurantees his girl Peta Todd too!!!
What better than having both of Cav's girls? (He can keep his newly aquired baby girl tho)
I'm sure I'd be sprinting like him in no time, knowing she's waiting @ home!!!
My stamina would take a huge hit I'm sure!!!
Not too proud to settle for Cav's sloppy 2nd's...
