Non-carbon frames?
 

Were any teams using titanium or other frame tube materials this year in the TDF?

Fassa Bortolo used Magnesium framed Dogmas, with carbon stays and forks...

Weren't CSC's Cervelos aluminum? How about AG2R's Decathlons?

CSC switched to the carbon Soloists this year.

There were also some Al Bianchis on the Liquigas-Bianchi squad.

Yes.

with carbon seatstays/fork etc.

Also lampre calffita used the same combo al/carbon.

I think some of the Euskatel team rode alum \ carbon combo's.

no, I dont think so. I think they were all carbon fibre orcas.

Some members still used the ally frames in the climbs.

If Cipo had still been racing the E5, he'd have entered and won Le Tour. No doubt.

I think not... He'd just have to put on a toga and have his teammates pull him in a chariot, all the way to the line.

Anyone besides me remember that?

The toga was good, but the "skinless man" skinsuit was better. :D

Damiano Cunego of Lampre used a Cannondale CAAD 8 SI frame in the Giro, that's about as not carbon as it gets in the Grand Tours.

Backstead has ridden Ti bikes because of the difficulty of getting a CF frame built to his size.

Euskatel did ride an Al-C combo during the flat stages, the Orca in the mountains

Mayo's Alpe D' Huez frame was 100% alu in 2004.

Same one he used in the P-N Ventoux TT.

Don't you mean D-L ? :)

Dammit....you're right! Stoopid fingers.

Thats because it was 920 gram aluminum frame.
