The bicycle had two flat tires, but Greg Estes figured the $5 asking price still made it a great bargain at a yard sale. Little did he know just how great. Estes checked on the bike’s origin after buying it in Owenton, Ky., this month. He was shocked to learn it might be worth as much as $8,000 and was custom built for disgraced cyclist Floyd Landis, who used it in the 2007 Leadville 100. Landis crashed but finished second in that race. “It’s a Cadillac of bicycles, that’s for sure,” Estes said. “It’s just unreal how good it rides.” The bike could fetch $5,500 to $6,000 on the open market.
