ASP.NET MVC: DropDownListFor doesn't select any option

Question

I have this to populate a drop down list in an ASP.NET MVC view.

<%= Html.DropDownListFor(model => model.Bikes,
      Model.Bikes.Select(
      x => new SelectListItem {
               Text = x.Name,
               Value = Url.Action("Details", "Bike", new { bikeId = x.ID }),
               Selected = x.ID == Model.ID,
           })) %>

Debugging this I can see that the Selected property is set to true when it should be. But when the view is rendered, none of the options in the list is selected. I realize that this could be done with another overload of DropDownListFor but I really want to get this version working.

Any ideas?
