Has there ever been a bicycle thats won an olympic medal, podium in a major cycle race etc that totaled no more than £2000 (or equivelant of that in todays value). Im talking about road bikes or time trial bikes.
They say its the engine that matters so this isnt exactly like asking if a standard mondeo has ever won NASCAR, would be interesting to hear about someone achieving something big on a budget in a sport regarded as being very expensive.

Zipp wheels and SRAM Red, so it cost a wee bit more than 2k ;-)0
