    Is that a recent picture?

    If so they are sitting on a huge amount of seriously old stock - current blade been out for 18 months pretty much

    Reckon they are worth what, £9.5k each tops (that is if its a current picture) - based on new one available for about 10k

    I think yor right but what's going on with the 3rd one along; is that some sort of disc-lock?

    I thought this too, it appears to be attached to the caliper??? also why would only one be disc locked?

    Yes it is attached to the calliper and its called a bike lock ,
    Difference between this and a disc lock when fitted this will not move if you
    try to ride off and forget its there , reason only one locked to show customers
    what locks they have for sale in the shop .

    Dobbles , I'll be honest I rang Paul up at dobbles he told me what it was :D

    He says there much better than a disc lock has they don't let the wheel move
    If you've forgotten to take it off when you ride away , (unlike a disc lock ,)
    And we all know what happens then don't we ? Hmmmm .
    Hope this helps .

    I saw it when i was there its fekkin brilliant it fits around the caliper permanently so you havnt got to cary it.
    it has a reminder for your key fob too, I dont remeber cost but hey wasnt cheap or id of bought one.
    Im off to look online too.

    Thing is its a really good idea BUT I think it's so invisible a thief will just end up dropping the bike trying to walk away with it!
