Maybe O/T, but the art reference inspired me to look at the max price paid at auction for a bike.

A Trek ridden by Armstrong in the TDF and then reimagined by an established artist sold for 500k. A lofty price for a bike, but not even noteworthy by art standards, and I think we can agree the sale price had everything to do with provenance and the artwork, rather than the bike itself.
