halaburt Posted January 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 ... is that the Ebay auction one? Yup... Danny donated it to the BBC's Children In Need "Pudsey" drive and they auctioned it on eBay. The auction listing only included some very small photos where you couldn't really see too much of the bike and its condition/setup... so it was a bit of a mystery of exactly what it would look like (setup, condition, etc.). I was very pleased that it wasn't overly "freshened up" for the auction -- in fact, the BBC never really ever had it in their possession. I have to ask.. what did you end up paying?... The auction closed at £3100. Did the advert say 'very light use, one careful lady owner'? Something like "Only ridden to church on Sundays."

Obviously. This is (for me) a "collector piece" and not for riding. I'd prefer to think of it as 100x as good a deal as this: Lance Butterfly Bike yeah but hes obviously gonna be able to do flairs now guys !!!! duuhh x It remains to be seen if any riding skill "karma" was accidentally shipped over with the bike. I haven't found it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revolver Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 It's a lot of money for a bike, but it's got some history behind it so it's got sentimental value. Kudos on the donation to charity too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0zzy Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 . its not as if he had a choice though isit if he wanted the bike he had to pay the money which was going to the charity. looks alrite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicH_87 Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 did danny run it with odd brake pads? and has it always had echo forks on it?? it's a cool bike to have, but to be honest, if i was danny i would of wanted to keep it as 'the bike from that film that got me famous' kinda thing, i'm sure in the future he'd be interested in buying it back... hell, i'd like my old t-pro back for sentimental value and all that bike did was waste my youth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
