Is that a triple on the top one? ;)

Not sure I'm a fan of those fat/wide whatever you want to call them wheels. They sure get your attention though.

Regarding the TT bike handlebars - if I rode with bars like that, I'd have a case of carpal tunnel syndrome within 40k.

No. It's a double. The Dura-Ace chainrings are deep and look like a chainguard. :D

The graphics on the Bontrager full-disc wheels have always given me a headache when I watch them spin. It reminds me of the begining of a Twilight Zone episode.

the TT bike looks a lot like the new Time RXR Frame.

There's a tiny HED sticker on the wheels, I doubt Bontrager really made them, They look like Zipp rims anyways.

why would he have wheels like that on the main bike......dont those drag alot in a cross wind?

the wheels look like Bontrager's paired spoke technology integrated with Hed's aerodynamics. Perhaps they partnered on these wheels? Very nice!

Their probably not his main wheels. I doubt he'll ever use them, well maybe on the first couple stages. They are probably there for the OOOOOOOOO AAAAAAAAAA affect.

about those rims; in the last stage of the dauphine hincapie was riding some very deep section rims, while the other guys were on the usual looking bontrager stuff. maybe those were a set of the ones on the new TDF bike? or maybe they were his own set of zipps. lol. anyone know for sure?

p.s. is that a 56 tooth ring on the TT bike? DANG!

I like the TT bike. Those look like Hed S bend aerobars.

Well bontrager does have an aero wheel already, the rin wasnt as deep as the one above. I think those have a deeper rims and special edition paint jobs which I hae to say are pretty snazzy.
