Armstrong's latest with 2004 Dura Ace:
Interestingly shaped seat tube. It looks like a buildout rather a cutout, and doesn't appear to add
any strength or save any weight so presumably it is meant to give an aerodynamic improvement. It
follows the contour of the wheel but leaves a surprisingly large gap. A cynic might think it was
primarily a marketing tool for Trek. :-)--

too pretty for Lance.....ugly if you ask me
His 1993 world championship Eddie Merckx is hanging in Belmont Wheelworks - now _that's_ a bike he
should be riding."Scic" <[email hidden]> wrote in message "]news:[email hidden]...

New frame, wheels, too.
Still the same saddle though!

BB and the bottle cage.David E. Belcher

That accessory clipped to the rear wheel looks like it'll really add rolling resistance though. Or
maybe it's some high-tech wind-tunnel tested fender.--

His 1993 world championship Eddie Merckx is hanging in Belmont Wheelworks - now _that's_ a bike he
should be riding.I should drop by there sometime - I'm a lot closer to Ace though, and JRA (used to be Travis Cycles)
has always treated me well. Brian is a very cool guy, refused to accept a tube in return for one he
gave me on a RAGE ride. Quick, reliable service too, and he even offered me a ride on his brand new
RM Element Team (in the Fells no less!) if I wanted to try the bike out.Jon Bond

Nice! I like the "ice blue" color!
May you have the wind at your back. And a really low gear for the hills! Chris

It almost looks like the new cut-out Brooks. Does Lance ride leather?

Not all manufacturers are keen on them - Colnago is another maker who seem to be avoiding the
system, though they have bowed to market pressure a little and adopted threadless steerers.David E. Belcher
