[Closed] What's Brant and co planning on doing with Savilles Bikes?

they got £10k of publicity when they bought them so they can write it off now 😉

Money went to charity - which is the main thing.

Uncle Jimmy did a lot for charity, so he must be alright, really.

Maybe Lance could borrow them for a charity ride.

Imagine the publicity! What could possibly go wrong?

So, who were the Big Hitters they were bidding against ? 😛

Depends, was there a Tandem....?

That was a shrewd publicity move 😆
Maybe split them for parts on eBay

there's a market for Nazi memorabilia, why not for nonce*-soiled goods?

*alleged

"Firesale, up to 70% off uncle Jimmies bikes!"

Expect an email soon.

I need a cheap commuter – I think id replace the saddle though and the bar tape. Urgh.

I'd guess bin them.

It's not OnOne's fault that they were taken in by Saville's good PR.

Saville had spent a lifetime keeping his evil behaviour secret. At the time I seem to recall everyone referring to him as a saint who did work for good causes. Sadly we were all taken in.

save 'em for the launch of the On-One Wrongun; gold finished 69er with built in kiddie seat 😆

Dons flameproof suit, lights touch paper and runs away.....

"I'm glad in this country we are judged to be innocent until proven guilty" 😉

line crossed?

why bin them, are the bikes paedophiles?

They could hire them out and give you a "I rode a Jimmy" badge

Not anymore! 🙂

more importantly - who is to blame for them buying them?
