Just wondered what Lance Armstrong was ridding back in the beginning of his Tour de France wins 1999, 2000. Was he always on 110 OCLV? :o

It depends on which race and which segment it was.

1999- Litespeed TT bike branded as Trek I believe, OCLV 150 road bike
2000- Still an OCLV 150 I believe, unless Lance got an OCLV 120 prototype since 120 came out in 2001
2001- OCLV 110 5900 for the mountains. I'm pretty sure he used an OCLV 120 frame for the flat stages
2002- OCLV 110 for the mountains presumable, OCLV 120 for the flat stages
2003- The Madone and the 5900 Superlight for the Mountains, OCLV 120 for the flat stages?

"Lance Armstrong won his World Championship Road title in 1993 in Oslo on, ahem, an Eddy Merckx, beneath the paint and decals was actually a Litespeed Classic".

Litespeed was under contract to build Ti frames for Eddy Merckx for a few years, but it was no secret. They had a "built by Litespeed" decal on them.

He rode one of these. I ride the same bike but without the goofy bars and fancy wheels.

He never rode that bike at the TDF as it wasn't UCI legal in 1999.
Prior to his OCLV TT rig, he was on a Litespeed Blade re-badged as a Trek.

What's funny about the photo is that Berry Floor didn't sign up until last year. You will note Berry's logo on the shorts.
But a nice try... :eek:
