He also rode Calfees (known back then as CarbonFrames) for a while. Back during the Team Z days, his team rode Calfees too.

Talk about poor photography... I mean, I can't see any of the drive train, or a good look at what the make of the bike is. Although, it seems others have identified it as a LOOK, I can't make it out myself.

Many former racers are fat. Their ability to consume vast quanties of food enabled them to survive in those hellish races. Even Eddy isn't skinny. He used to be a whale ( and could still trounce me ) but he has lost about 30 pounds.
