Climbing to the final mountain top finish of this year's Tour at Peyragudes. This bike looks to have a standard length rear derailleur(Image credit: Robin Wilmott/BikeRadar)
From in front you can see the slim profile of the head tubes, and the differing setup of Wiggins and Froome (right), with extra spacers below Froome's stem presumably to allow for his time trial position. The one piece bars and stem had incorporated SRM meter mounts and a flattened top section.(Image credit: Robin Wilmott/BikeRadar)
Wiggins approaching the 20km to go point of the final time trial, already over a minute ahead of Chris Froome. The custom one piece stem's aero shape can be seen in profile as can the brake levers. Wiggins kept to his favoured, but unmarked tri spoke front wheel and similarly unmarked disc. The rear derailleur looks to have a Berners (or similar) cage and oversized jockey wheels. We suspect the outer Osymetric chain ring was around 56 teeth.(Image credit: Robin Wilmott/BikeRadar)

Wiggins's one piece time trial bar and stem has a distinctly Great Britain track team influence. We suspect it may reappear in the Olympic time trial.(Image credit: Robin Wilmott/BikeRadar)
Number one TT bike for the Tour's number 1 rider. Wiggo roundel has already become his trademark(Image credit: Robin Wilmott/BikeRadar)
For the final stage to Paris, Wiggins rode a special all yellow Pinarello Dogma 65.1 machine rather than the Dogma 2 he'd used all race.(Image credit: Robin Wilmott/BikeRadar)

Wiggins on his way to sign on for the final time at the 2012 Tour. Note the change to Shimano badged wheels and different hubs for the final stage. Also special yellow Bont shoes and ventilated yellow Kask helmet(Image credit: Robin Wilmott/BikeRadar)
The bike and wheels remain on the Place de la Concorde, but the helmet has reverted to the closed vent more aerodynamic Kask design. Cavendish stayed glued to Wiggins's wheel for the entire race in Paris until Edvald Boasson Hagen took up station between the pair before the final few kilometres.(Image credit: Robin Wilmott/BikeRadar)
Wiggins's Dogma 65.1 kept some black sections behind the fork legs, and on parts of the stays.(Image credit: Robin Wilmott/BikeRadar)

Six days after his victory in Paris, Wiggins took to the roads of Surrey and south west London with his four GB team mates in an attempt to propel Mark Cavendish to the Olympic title. While Ian Stannard and David Millar rode their usual team bikes, Wiggins, Froome and Cavendish had specially built bikes with UK Sport Innovation written on the top tube.(Image credit: Robin Wilmott/BikeRadar)
We suspect that Froome and Wiggins's bikes are the ones they will also ride in the Olympic time trial on August 1st with the fitting of a TT specific cockpit, changed wheels and gearing.(Image credit: Robin Wilmott/BikeRadar)
The unusually short head tubes are unmistakeably similar to the GB team track bikes, and their low top tubes would suggest that these machines will double as time trial bikes too. Note the similarity in design of the stems on these machines and that of Wiggins's Tour de France TT bike. (Image credit: Robin Wilmott/BikeRadar)
Wiggins's final stage time trial bike being taken back in to the mechanic's truck after being passed by the commissaires. Note the custom one-piece time trial bar and stem plus extensions, with tall aluminium risers, narrow arm rests, integrated brake levers and mechanical Dura Ace bar end shifters. The SRM head unit is tucked neatly between the extensions.(Image credit: Robin Wilmott/BikeRadar)
Michael Rogers' time trial bars had more extensive white grip tape applied to them and a fairly wide hand position(Image credit: Robin Wilmott/BikeRadar)

It was hard to be sure how many bikes Wiggins had available during the race, but this one was labelled as expected.(Image credit: Robin Wilmott/BikeRadar)

Wiggins's spare bike for the day was labelled with his now universal nickname, and sporting yellow bar tape(Image credit: Robin Wilmott/BikeRadar)
The 'Wiggo' spare bike also lacked an SRM crank, but otherwise looked the same mechanically. We wonder how often those chain ring teeth are repainted?(Image credit: Robin Wilmott/BikeRadar)

It wasn't to be for Mark Cavendish on the day, but this shot shows the wide profile unbranded aerodynamic rims the whole team were using. Cavendish was the only Team GB rider without an SRM meter attached.(Image credit: Robin Wilmott/BikeRadar)
Just over a week ago, Bradley Wiggins made history by becoming the first British cyclist to win the Tour de France. And while he and Team GB missed out on a medal in the Olympic men's road race last Saturday, Wiggins goes into tomorrow's Olympic time trial as the favourite.
Our photographer Rob Wilmott was at the Tour and the Olympic road race and got a good look at the various bikes that Wiggins has been riding. From the yellow themed Pinarello Graal time trial bike that he used to win the final Tour time trial to the UK Sport road bike that he rode in the Olympic road race, it's all here in our thumbnail gallery. If you look closely you can see some of the customised parts that are a hallmark of any Wiggins machine.
