What puts a $10,000 bid for one of Eddy's Giro bikes (theoretical here because the bike for auction wasn't) in perspective for me is that current, top of the line (run of the mill), race bikes cost $7500 to $8000!

Doesn't sound like that much to me when it's put in that light (my opinion of course).
