We watched as Trek engineer Mark Andrews hand-checked and prepped each frame in an exacting process that took at least one hour each. "Unlike our production Madone SL frame, for the Discovery Channel Pro Cycling team frames, we drill a hole in the bottom bracket to allow the water that may collect during racing to drain more easily," explained Andrews, who we met at last year's Tour de France while he and Daubert were supporting the Discovery team.

There's only one reasonable question: why do they omit the drain hole from the frames they sell to paying customers? ALL the high-end Trek buyers can't be posers - right?

First we drill holes into BB shells all the time. If no hole, we drill one on a BB OVH..for Litespeed, Serotta, other steel, aluminum, etc. No big deal.
Second, why aren't all the frames prepped? Why does this article imply some mystical thing this wrench does to this frames...Prepping? Something every frame should have done, if possible, particularly with the 2 piece crank.
