Most of you know me, but for those who do not, my name is Roy Wiggins. I live in England, United Kingdom, and I am one of the most respected Lance collectors in the community. Myself, together with a few other notable “high end” collectors, between us, have the largest collection of memorabilia in the world – fact. We not only own some of Lance’s most personal cycling wares, we are also custodians to them. I have always had access to key contacts in the industry, whether it be Nike, Oakley, Giro, US Postal, Discovery, Tour De France Org (ASO), the UCI, etc, etc, thus enabling me to obtain some of the rarest Lance related items available (or unavailable as the case often is!). Take it from me, you need to be watching my auctions over the next coming weeks. Some stunning pieces up for grabs!!! I have huge respect within the collector community, and have featured several times on Lance’s website. (SEE Links here: The Johan Bruyneel Jersey Story HERE / Donated Lance 2005 Discovery Signed Tour De France Podium presentation Tunic Story: THE PACELINE / VELONEWS / DAILY PELETON ) Occasionally, from time to time, I release several key items from my collection for general consumption, into the public domain, either to raise funds for charities, or to make room in my collection for other pieces! This recent series of auctions sees me release some key items, ranging from early Team Motorola pieces, scarce Tour De France Pieces, Prototype pieces and general ware. Most of these pieces are scarce within the collector community, since most, once in personal collections, rarely resurface in the public domain. This is a fantastic chance therefore, for you to acquire some very unique pieces, form the most trusted source.
