Did Lance ride another commemorative type bike for the final stage? I don't have OLN, CBS decided to cover golf instead of the Tour today, and no one online has good pics/video of his final leg. Anyone manage to find any?

*Yes, I've been checking oln.com's video recaps, and no good bike shot.

According to Kirsten Gum yes he did. It was a newly designed bike that had just arrived a few hours before Kirsten showcased it. She said Lance had not even seen it yet.

It looked like a 5.9 Madone that was painted with custom graphics commemorating all those special Lance decals through out the Tour. That 7 on the head tube is awesome! :eek:

Kirsten mentioned that it will soon be available through the "Project One" Program.....


I kind of thought Lance's TTX ITT bike also looked slightly different yesterday than the model shown at the start of the Tour, I could be mistaken, but did it ever look wicked during the ITT :eek:
