I understand where you are coming from, but I'm not convinced many cyclists understand the significance of the name Madone and how it relates to LA. Only diehard LA or TdF fans will know. I actually had someone call on the phone and ask if we had any Mad Ones (two words) in stock. For a moment I thought he was referring to an obscure BMX or DH bike! So much for the great TdF-LA heritage tie-in.
