How about a signed Lance Armstrong jersey to hang in your shop?

How did BikeBiz.co.uk get its hands on an autographed Lance Armstrong jersey? Simple, we emailed Trek USA’s president, John Burke, before the show and he agreed to help.

Lance Armstrong turned up at the Las Vegas Interbike show for an hour’s Q&A session with the assembled throng of US IBDs and industry-sorts.

This auction is open to the public as well as the trade. The starting price was £50.

To bid you have to register your address and email details. Bids go up in £5 increments. Should anybody trump your bid, you will be auto-emailed and invited to bid again.
