Tammy, Barry, and Roger are having a very negative effect on my
life.

I will feel better and safer when they are in prison.

This is really worth it folks. Just raise taxes if need be -- build
more prisons. Get these hardened criminals off the street! Thank
goodness for a guvmint looking out for little ol me!

"It was on an $8,500 carbon-fiber Madone model bike built by Trek that Mr.
Armstrong won his first Tour de France in 1999, as well as the six straight
Tour titles that followed. "

Didn't the Madone name come later?

cheers,

Much later, 2004. In 1999 the team was on the 5500 for road races and
Trek labeled Litespeeds for the time trials.

Except for LANCE's super secret prototype Madone. Why do you think it
was 8 and a half grand?

Lance was riding a completely-stock 5200/5500 frameset, the only
modification being the glued-on number plate tabs. The components are
nothing extraordinary either. The bike is on display at Trek's headquarters
in Waterloo, Wisconsin. The bike cost no more than $4000.

Also on display is the 5900 Lance rode up Luz Ardiden in 2004, with the
chainstay that cracked after having been run over by... was it Mayo?...
after the handbag took lance down.

Lance rarely rode prototype equipment, and tended to be a bit superstitious
about his rides. His favorite "climbing" bike, for some time after it was
replaced by the initial Madone, remained the 5900. This primarily because
the 5900 had taken him to a number of mountaintop victories, and he didn't
see the point to messing with success. Eventually they came up with a
modified Madone (less the aero tail fin and downtube, which subtracted a few
ounces of weight but was less aero) that he was happy with.

Oh, please. Everyone knows that Keith Richards died in 1973 ...

He just has so many chemicals in his body, that in 35 years, no one has
discovered it yet.
