According to Guinness World Records, the most expensive bike sold at auction was a “Butterfly bike” that Armstrong rode in the final stage of the 2009 Tour de France.
How much did this bike go for? A cool half a million dollars ($500,000 USD).
Get this – the butterflies on the bike are REAL (dead) butterflies. What the heck? That’s kinda creepy, although I don’t know if I would call it a horrific barbarity. It just seems to conflict with the Livestrong message. I guess butterflies aren’t allowed to Live Strong. 
Pink logos and dead butterflies just says LIVESTRONG to me! Oh wait.. no...
I actually wanted to see it to believe it, so I found a photo of Lance holding up the bike:
Do you like my pretty pink wheel set?
What do you think? Cool? Lame? Overpriced? Weird?
Small but kind of cool : I submitted a message to be printed on the event roads for the Tour de France and it was selected. As you can see, it is a deep and philosophical message in response to the first two days of the tour this year.
I like how they even give the GPS coordinates so I can stalk the location on Google Maps.
Did you post a message for the tour this year? What would you have wanted to post?
