I wouldn't call Bart a dork. And he's a much better racer than you realize.

Brets correct, Bart is no slouch as his long list of results will attest. As an engineer he's always
testing the latest technology such as the LUST shoes which are on the feet of many cyclists, pros
included. Most of you will remember the Pro Cycling article about Vaughter's pair of LUST shoes. And
unknownst to most people, Cipo almost had several pairs with Specialized logos created.

Dorky, perhaps, but... it's a heck of a TT bike. The sound it makes scares the hell out of his
competition and really blows your concentration if you hear him coming up behind you.

Ok, but why is the word "Fattie" necesarry. I don't think pro-cyclists are fat. (except for Jan
Ullrich in January). Or is "fattie" used to show the difference in physique between riders of the
classics and the light riders of the 1 week and 3 weeks tours?

Kenny, in our screwy system, the "Masters" are us old, fat guys, hence the
psueo-suffix/descriptor/qualifier/de-egoizer.
