I saw this on the GrahamWatson.com website with the following comment...

"Lance Armstrong, riding a new Trek bike for the race, climbs the final hill near the front of the peloton...he'll soon be told Jan Ullrich has been dropped from the group"

Is it me or is Berry Flooring getting a little more color on that kit?

But the vertical strips on the shorts are a little silly.

I understand that USPS will not sponsor a cycling team next year and that Lance has asked for a big raise and USPS is looking to get more traction ( like that word ) by placing sponsor dollars elsewhere. I think this was already mentioned here before but I have well placed sources that tell me this to be fact.

Let's see . . . Those legs DO look familiar. Now where have I seen them before?

OH! YEAH!--In the MIRROR!:D

They look really ugly to me, so I think they must be the '04 chain rings and cranks.

... looks better than his other steeds, IMO. The frame looks to be composed more of tubes than one molded blob. Also, it looks like LA is using less spacers on this one, so it might be better fit (unless he is just using a lower position). More info, please!

not only do I too have chicken legs, but they got this nice winterborne blue-grey tint going. Maybe I should audition for a bit part on CSI.

Well, at least by August the grey coloring has faded.

TmcDet -- Those are the new 10-speed Dura-Ace chainrings.

CSI? No, he's riding a TREK. :banana:
