That having been said, I was noting while watching Fleche Wallone today,
that there's hardly a conventional frame left in the peloton. they're
almost all compacts now. And the closest thing to a conventional frame
seems to be the USPS Treks. Strange.

gevans- At least 4 teams at the TofG are on Trek made bikes. BRBR


'Owns' is an appropriate word..With the $$ they are throwing around. These pros
would ride anything...if paid enough.

With the pressure on them to win, do you think they'd use something they
knew was clearly inferior?

Of course not, but there's very little difference between the high ends
of any mfr's bikes, so whomever pays the best gets the best riders.

Never said it was...hard to find a truly inferior frameset these days..But
whether they use a Trek or not depends on the sponsor, not the frameset.
