3.1cutlass Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Thats shitty. I read about it earlier this morning. They will have trouble getting rid of it because it is a one off bike. Probably worth 10-15k too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AWW$HEEET Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 I worked for Trek. You can get a completely decked Madone for $10k. Add whatever gay shit Lance rocks and it probably didnt total more than 12-14k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His TT bike was stolen with retails for 8.5k. I can't imagine the bike of his that was stolen being worth more that 10k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillJoy Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 The bike was LANCE FUCKING ARMSTRONG'S! It is worth WELL OVER $15k to the right buyer. I wonder what was so special between the Time Trial Bike to the Race Bike??? KillJoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco-REX Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 The bike was LANCE FUCKING ARMSTRONG'S! It is worth WELL OVER $15k to the right buyer. I wonder what was so special between the Time Trial Bike to the Race Bike??? KillJoy TT bikes tend to have more aerodynamic aids, weigh a touch more, and have less gears. The racing bikes are closer to regular bikes, but are as light as possible since he spends more time on it. Essentially the TT bike is all about going as fast as possible for a short amount of time, while the race bike is about maintaining a steady speed for as long as possible.

3.1cutlass Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 I wonder what was so special between the Time Trial Bike to the Race Bike??? KillJoy This is the TT bike. The key is being aerodynamic. This is a race bike. More geared toward comfort and being a light as legally possible. http://www.roadcyclinguk.com/news/images/astana_bike_angle_hi.jpg Also what REX said.
