    Haha, I actually did very well ; )

    I just wouldn't pay 60 quid for a print of that (not even framed). I cannot even work out what the two numbers at the bottom mean...distance for one maybe?

    You need to be in the prop trading houses not the IBs getting smoked and losing their business model as they have much fewer customers to rip off.

    No big org will do prop trading now though. Imagine trying to convince shareholders that trading your capital is a good idea. Tis all about flow now.

    :D

    If someone spent 80 notes on a present for you you'd think it was reasonable. I don't think it's something you'd buy for yourself.

    Not spent much time working for the Delta one desks then? ;).

    Banks still prop. trade.

    Anyway, enough finance.

    I like it. Framed pictures are expensive.

    If it was bigger, I'd get one for my living room.

    It doesn't come framed, which is likely another £60.

    Even if someone does find it interesting, it isn't even visual attractive enough to go on the wall.

    Fair enough.

    The print shop down the road from me doesn't have anything less than £150-200. :p

    The tags are year, "symbol" (winners initials), riders name, total distance and average speed and the colour indicates nationality.

    £60? errr, no. An interesting A4 freebie in a magazine maybe.
