New "yellow" Sram red???
So Versus just had a clip on the new sram red on Lance's bike. It's a yellow sram red version that is new for this tour. Anyone have any info on this group??

i dont know what shimano or campy is waiting for with the commercial where AS says "I'm AS, and i chose sram" followed by clips of his drivetrain essentially killing his chances of winning the tdf.

Nice, and I'll bet it will be costly, but then I may be able to justify a red purchase.

"The large yellow SRAM lettering is reserved for Tour leaders, but limited numbers of the Red groups with yellow graphics will be made available to the public."

Agreed, the Yellow that you see on the Tour is just a special edition of the SRAM Red gruppo, just with yellow graphics instead of red.

yeah, I don't think it was just paint. Versus said it was a new gruppo line from Sram.
But, it was a different color, so yeah, it was also new paint.

I just created a special yellow version of R310 Shimano shoes with removable (with acetone) stripe. They're costly, but worth it to show you really love yellow. PM for details on where to send the western union.

i remember...
...reading, last year, that the RD of this RED gruppo was ultra light, but not ultra great, like those of its competitors.
i'm just glad it happend to AS when he was trying to put on the gas!
poor guy though.i wonder who'll be providing Saxo Bank with gruppos next year is AS loses by like 10 seconds (unlikely. it will be bigger)

Yellow is the color of fear. As in I'm afraid my friggin chain will fall off at the worst possible moment in the biggest stage race of the year.
Stupid Sram.

I thought LA purchased the copyright to the color yellow? Every time I ride my Cannondale tandem I'm looking over my shoulder for a process server.

It's a "limited edition" so I bet it will make them some money.
They must have put the summer intern on this one.
