SRAM on the TDF podium
 
For those wondering if they should make the SRAM leap or not, consider that everyone on the TDF final podium was riding a bike outfitted with SRAM. The best team (Astana) used SRAM. Yes, that clicky, noisy SRAM.

Yah and last year we just HAD to make the Cervelo leap with dura ace 7800.

A. Schleck beat LA because his hoods weren't at some ridiculous jacked up angle.

LA must not read BF.

The whole strategy was to drive the other riders crazy with the frickin noise.:rolleyes:

I made the leap before there was "make the leap", just saying. I still refuse to go with white hoods though...

Lance may be like unto a god among cyclists, but he falls tragically short in the Euro Style department.

Of course, naysayers will point that he's f**king Lance Armstrong, and therefore is above such concerns, but WTF do they know? A. Schleck has Euro Style out the yin yang, and who got 2nd place, huh? Hint: it wasn't Lance. Coincidence? :innocent:

I also still refuse to go with mid-length, black socks...

They had over 1 billieeon dollars in sales last year! So what do you (Oakley) do to celebrate? Throw a party, buy a Russian surplus APC tank and smash up a trailer and car.
