Re: figured you guys would LOVE this Armstrong article
This article the guys won't like but he's putting up his money where his mouth is and doing something to help build, rather than destroy, the cycling culture.

Re: figured you guys would LOVE this Armstrong article
...good for lance and the austin, texas cycling community. glad to see he's putting his reputation up for a worthy endeavour. just wondering if it's a coincidence that the shop is near the zona and its college coed clientele or simply a nike marketing push point...

Re: figured you guys would LOVE this Armstrong article
I would be more impressed if instead of Carmichael training he had Dr. Ferrari training. An in store pharmacy and blood storage at a reasonable price would be nice.

Re: figured you guys would LOVE this Armstrong article
It does sound like a cool store. You have to wonder, though, what the other Austin shops (not owned by multi-multimillionaires) are thinking.

Re: figured you guys would LOVE this Armstrong article
Is he going to be sitting in his shop as a mechanic or something? That would be something - to see LA in a shop with all the mechanics' tools, etc. and telling each customer, "Hey man! You know who I am? I am LA. I won TdF seven times...".
Sorry if this is too cheesy to be humorous.  |

Maybe if they specialize in something other than "high end Treks" they will be okay. They could put a sign outside that says, "Luigi's Bike Shop: Where the Owner Will Not Hit on Your Daughter"
