BikeBiz.com tagged along on an 85km training ride with Eddy Merckx
earlier today and asked about the rumours, rampant at the Taipei trade
show, that Trek was to ditch the Lemond line in favour of the 25-year
old Eddy Merckx line.

There should be no surprises here..
for over 4 years, Colnago's titaniu frames being made in Russia, then they are shipped to Italy for priming, painting and etc..

They cot $250 to make in Russia.

Eastern European riders riders who came to Track Worlds in LA, ( and SMOOOOKEED all local "PROS" wannabies Such as SHMONEX, SEASHWILVER, FELLY JELLY, LABORRETS, etc.) were rideng them (unpainted)

BTW you should see "PROS" faces after the 130 lbs Rybin from Ukraine grinded them in HOME DEPOT (next to velorone) Crit where 75%of the fieldwas dropped like a sack of potatoes on relatively flat course..

uhh, weren't all the "real" socal pros over in San Dimas on Sunday? And it
looks to me like the only *team* was amateur--RPM who won--and we know they
are beatable in a flat crit by a lone-ranger pro (see mothballs results).

Thank you for the reality Tim, road bikes need art, like the auto industry
has Ferrari, we can aspire to more than the big 3 would give us.

Dumbass -

The Big 3 doesn't exist anymore. GM has been supplanted by Toyota as
the world's largest automaker, Ford is a relative midget in the global
market and Chrysler is owned by Daimler, even though Daimler-Chrysler
suggests a partnership.

thanks,

Actually, you're only semi-wrong on this one.

GM is still top dog in production. Toyota supplanted Ford and DCX and
sits at #2 and is knocking on GM's door, and I wouldn't be surprised
if they pass them soon.

Toyota is the biggest in market value, and yes, they will pass GM in
units soon.
