How many bikes do you have?

I still like the way Ulrich's bike looks more than those Treks. The Bianchis
just have a certain elan the Treks don't.


If you just want the Bianchi for winter training then
talk to Sara Mercante at the Treviglio plant.

If you don't mind a bit of extra weight go for the
Titanium for training, that way you can get Stefano
Vigano or Luca Minesso to whip up a new frame
anytime you want to tweak the geometry. They
can build up and FedEx you one of those Ti frames
almost in time for your next training ride, that is
if you are one of the big names like Teutenberg,
Guidi, Ullrich, or Me.

As I say, a Ti Bianchi is ok for training, and over the
off-season you may want to go through a dozen or
more different frame configurations . Come the in-
season get about ten frames built to the geometry
you liked from the winter ti frames, but get a mix
of the EV4, EV3, and the EV3 carbon, as well as
a couple of TT frames.

If you're a nobody then phone the Treviglio head office
and tell Felice Gimondi I sent you.

Overall team standings for the Tour: CSC is #1, CSC rides Cervélo.

Am I missing something here?

I thought Credit Agricole had that.

Here is a picture of Lars Teutenberg with a REAL BICYCLE.

I thought US Postal won the team time trial and they are riding TREKs.

Yep, those carbon frames put 1.45 on those lame Cervélos.

Zoot is always a bit out of things.

I've considered the Pista as well. The only problem I can see is where
to put your water bottles for those long, slow winter rides.

You can run a race on the ice :-) My first bike race I saw in
person was one - funnily enough no road bikes participated, but
there was one two-wheeled recumbent

I use a fixed gear with those tires for much of my winter riding. I'm not sure
that a Pista would have the clearance for them, but my old Fuji touring frame
does. The ideal winter bike would also have fenders, very few frames these
days would have room for either, never mind both.

Its always nice to have 1 - but is 2 or 3 better?


Over here on team Fassa Bortolo we're riding the Pinarello Dogma at
the moment.
The groupo is pretty well just your standard pro stuff, you know, Mavic
Ksyrium SSC SL wheels, Campy 10-speed, Deda Elimenti Newtom 31 bars,
Fork: Pinarello Onda, Pedals: Time, Stem: Deda Newton 33 and S-shaped
ONDA carbon fork.
Nothing much to get excited about.

I have a dogma and it is very exciting to ride.
