Lance's GOLD Bike...

you can bet on one thing,

a limited edition "replica" will available for purchase at your trek dealer soon!

as well as the "yellow banded" jerseys that the rest of the team wore today.

For sure! It's a great marketing lark.. pay a piddly amount in fines to the race organisers for 'not wearing correct team kit' and then make a mint by releasing the new gear to the public.

I second the motion. I saw bits and pieces of the bike, but no full photo or specs. It looked pretty freakn' cool. Can't wait to see the whole thing. Thanks for the Thread, Mark.

So, where are the details of the bike Lance is riding in the final
stage of the TdF?

It's a Trek with gold spokes, gold decals or paint and some
other gold bits.

Anyone got pics/specs?

Surprised it was ready? Trek probably had it ready weeks ago, just hoping for him to win it again.

Hippy, thanks for the photos. Man that is one sweet ride!! There's rumors abound that it'll be $10K out of the box, this autumn. Nice to know after you just plunked down $7K on the Limited Edition Madone 5.9!! Cheers and thanks, Mark.
