Anyone else see that character on ebay asking for £15,000 for Ben Swifts TdF bike. (cant post the link as i'm at work).
No one with an ounce of sanity will pay that .... surely??

I think that chap is dreaming. That bike isn't worth £10K, never mind £15K.0

This one? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ben-Swift-Tou ... 43b0b5bc69
He thinks the wheels are Dura Ace RS80, when in fact they're just good old UItegra RS80s according to the picture.
We've had a few ex TdeF bikes on here, at least one Dogma and they never seem to fetch that much. The last one was ridden by an Australian (name escapes me) and the owner was asking £4000, he didn't get it and it went for about £3500 on eBay.0 -

Had a look at that.ShutUpLegs wrote:
Nothing too surprising (apart from price), but a couple of thing stood out.
Drivetrain 53/39 and further down 54/39?
But mostly - 25mm tyres :?: That came as a surprise!None of the above should be taken seriously, and certainly not personally.0 -
25mm is probably a good choice - grip and comfort wise and you'd never notice any speed difference to say a 23mm. But tyres can be changed at the drop of a hat. Maybe its his training bike ?0

That's a pretty decent price for a 2nd hand (genuine) dogma with Di2, even if it is without wheels!
Never mind its heritage, it would be worth that if the original owner was a MAMIL.0 -

Strange how it swaps from being a Dogma 60.1 to a Dogma 2 between photos.0
