How "well-known"? TdF winner? World champion? I agree with the suggestion above that it might be of value to some collector. If the person is that notable I suppose you could obtain proof-positive verification from his team that it was in fact his bike, used in competition, and there might be someone out there who'd pay top $$ for it (if you're willing to part with the bike).
