Your chance to buy MTN-Qhubeka's Tour de France bikes
You could get your hands on a bike ridden by one of the MTN-Qhubeka stars at the Tour de France
Want to add that pro feel to your riding? Well now you have the chance to buy a bike ridden by one of the MTN-Qhubeka riders in the 2015 season.
The African team is getting rid of their supply of Cervelos, many of which were specially customised for the Tour de France, and are offering fans the chance to snap them up.
Bikes can come fully specc'd up or as a frame only, with prices ranging from €5,850 for the full bike to €4,550 for just the frame. When we say 'full bike', though, we have to warn you that all the bikes come without wheels...so bring your own.
The forms on the website give you the chance to request the bike of a specific rider, with Daniel Teklehaimanot (58cm), Louis Meintjes (51), Steve Cummings (56), Edvald Boasson Hagen (54), Serge Pauwels (54), or 'Other' the options available. Although if you want to buy a different size, theres options to simply select a frame size on many of the bikes.
Full terms and conditions are on the MTN-Qhubeka website, but have a gander at the bike on offer below and see if one of them takes your fancy.
Cervelo S5 - team issue bike
The standard issue team bike for MTN-Qhubeka, the Cervelo S5 comes assembled with a 3T cockpit, Lizard Skins bartape, ROTOR 3D+ cranks, Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 groupset (52/38t to 11/25t), Elite bottle cages, and a Selle Italia saddle.
Cycling Weekly rode an S5 earlier in the year, so read the review here.

Cervelo S5 Tour de France
This bike is exactly the same as the regular S5, by the looks of it, except it's painted silver and yellow. You could get your hands on the bike Steve Cummings rode to victory on stage 14 of the Tour de France!
It comes assembled with a 3T cockpit, Lizard Skins bartape, ROTOR 3D+ cranks, Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 groupset (52/38t to 11/25t), Elite bottle cages, and a Selle Italia saddle.
Price: Complete bike €5,850 (£4,350)/Frame only €4,550 (£3,385)
Cervelo P5 - time trial bike
Steve Cummings rode one of these beauties to 10th in the Tour de France's only individual time trial in Utrecht. With so few time trialling kilometres in the race this year these bikes will surely be good as new.
Like the others, this bike comes assembled with a 3T cockpit, Lizard Skins bartape, ROTOR 3D+ cranks, Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 groupset (52/38t to 11/25t), Elite bottle cages, and a Selle Italia saddle.
Price: Complete bike €5,850 (£4,350)/Frame only €5,070 (£3,765)
Cervelo R5 TdF
The bike ridden by Daniel Teklehaimanot while in the polka dot jersey could be yours if you fancy yourself an R5.
Again, this machine comes assembled with a 3T cockpit, Lizard Skins bartape, ROTOR 3D+ cranks, Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 groupset (52/38t to 11/25t), Elite bottle cages, and a Selle Italia saddle.
Price: Complete bike €5,850 (£4,350)/Frame only €4,550 (£3,385)
