My LBS has a Lance Armstrong Madone 5.9, one of the 500 made by Trek. They are raffling (sp) it off tomorrow and I just wanted to see what everyone's opinion would be re: whether to ride or display.
Of course I bought some raffle tickets; part of the money went to the LAF, the rest went towards the shop and their bill for the bike. I am just getting back into riding and am up to about 40 miles per day on average. I have been training on my old Cannondale, and it has been beating me up. So I placed an order with my other LBS for a 5.2 Madone to replace it.
If I were to win the 5.9 tomorrow, I am really leaning towards cancelling the order for the 5.2 and riding the 5.9. What is everyone's take on this?? I really have no reservations about training and racing triathlons on a 7G bike. Of course some of my friend's think otherwise, even some of my riding buddies. If I were to own a Ferrari, I would drive it daily. So what do you think??
