OK, so I quit riding in the late 80's but then started again last year, only to discover that all my bikes and gear are "vintage". In my hiatus, I was pretty fervent about watching the TDF, but I obviously did not pay attention to bike evolution, that is until the road bikes started not to look like road bikes. So my question is this: When was the last time that steel framed bikes were predominant in the TDF? I was thinking that Pantani used one in the late 90's but Google says that is wrong. I do know that Indurain rode steel, though.

Geez, I'm out of touch. Anyone wear wool jerseys anymore? Besides me, that is.
