Great bikes. They sponsored the PDM Pro team years ago. One of my favorite riders used to be on that team, Sean Kelly:



Don't know if its urban ledgend or not. But heard that some years he rode up to 200 races a year? Or was it days? Either way that's way too much and never knew how he did it. I also noticed that he road bikes a crunched up style (back was curved more). So I wonder how he would have done in his hey days if he rode less races and had a proper bike fit. Although looking at the image above, it looks like he has a flatter back than when he rode for KAS.
