Uk Sport Selling their Wares

Just saw that to meet UCI regs UK Sport are selling the 'Secret Squirrel Club' developed frames, bars, forks etc.
http://www.uksport.gov.uk/pages/cycling/

Just out of pure curiosity has anyone heard how much these bits are going for or has anyone actually ridden any of them?

No, the French were convinced they were extra-round. Missed the fact they were french wheels too. :roll:

Yes the bloody french stuck their nose in without realising Mavic were a french brand and they didnt use them!!

The fork is more expensive than the frame!
