I wonder if this is the bike he'll ride...(rumor has it he bought it at the handmade bike show a couple weeks back)

..NO..it's not, is it??

That would be even better...:D

I like the bike I'll have to see if I can find a better picture of it...:p

The bike looks quite pretty.

For some reason I keep thinking the wooden grip will loosen; kind of like my wooden handle utensils and the garden tool grips I used to use at home. :p

lance probably has an f'ing sweet fixed gear.

No kidding. Maybe he'll drop in one day and post a pix for us...

My favorite quote from the article:

Armstrong, who still remembers being a trifle intimidated when he walked into a bike shop as a kid, wants to make sure that doesn't happen to customers here. He said he'd rather encourage rookies to start riding than sell a faster bike to a veteran cyclist.
"If you're a commuter, you're just as important to us as the state champion on a road bike," Knaggs said.
"Potentially, more important," Armstrong added.

*you know I'm just kidding about the "old" stuff...and paid $15k to boot, or that was the asking price.

what else do you know about it?

I hope that Lance Armstrong decides to open a chain of bike stations...oh yeah.
