If you go back in check the front of the store, above the
autographed L.A. coke machine, its a pantheon to Lance.
Also some neat photo's of lance when he rode on the
RBM team in the back by the service dept.
Jim is a hell of a nice guy, cracks me up everytime my wife and
I go in and he comes over and says "how are you kids doing?"
kid, I haven't been called kid in eons.

I'm not really up to date on cycling as a sport. In other words I had no idea. I thought Lance got his start in Austin? I know his mom used to have a house in Dallas (a friend used to clean for her) but I thought he was an Austin guy.
That's pretty cool though.
