As he says himself "Why not?"
Armstrong posted the picture of the T1 Track bike on TwitPic yesterday to more than a little comment. If you want one like Lance’s though, you’ll have to head over to the States, the T1 isn’t available in Blighty. No doubt about it the bike is nice… not so sure about the shoes (below) Lance was showing off on Twitter though, on the other hand you could probably forgive a few yellow stars when the shoe weighs 195g. Nice box too.

I'm glad I had my trousers on. If I hadn't I might have been arrested.
Who was responsible for organising the prizes on Bullseye? Tonight's star prize was a luxury fitted kitchen. How are you supposed to split that between two contestants? Absolutely ridiculous.
Oh sir! sir! Johnnys riding his bike without a helmet, he’s going to die when he falls off!, Yes what a silly boy he is ! Anyway jump in the car we’re going to be late for school and I hope no one gets in my way especially bleeding cyclists!! I wonder if AI will see what fools we are..
It's more about the nomex suit, car helmet and five point harnesses (with HANS), but "reply" ain't what it used to be...
'Gotten' ? The word is 'become', as in, I have become sick of seeing 'gotten'.
OK, all the stuff I said elsewhere on this thread in defence of helmets, I take it all back. I'd sooner be seen as an anti-lidder than be associated with that heap of steaming ordure.
Exactly my thoughts. A real shame, they're amazing bikes, same as Islabikes. Really sad to hear the news. Having said that, we probably didn't do enough to help them. My son had one Islabike and two Frogs, all second hand that we resold for about the same amount.
I couldn't agree more, and when we have all that everywhere I might think about leaving off the helmet, but until then if I have to share the road with huge fast-moving chunks of metal, many of them piloted by persons of limited intelligence and even less self control, I'm going to keep the lid, which even Burt agrees can "probably" offer some protection from injury.
And the irony is that helmet promotion and mandation kills lots of people and they don't reduce the death rate of cyclists. The benefits of cycling vastly outweigh the risks, and helmet promotion and mandation deter cycling (the only proven effect) so those deterred lose those benefits and die earlier.
I see Mont Pythons upper class twits have been replaced by male anti helmet twits who probably ride under 10000 km/year while wearing bike gloves, ladies bib capris, power meters to register the watts they dont produce ,gps because they are easily lost on a tiny island, a mobile phone to call the wifey in case the ride gets too hilly or wet or fast or windy, all while complaining their tushy hurts. They always ask for proof..you could crash a few times on purpose without and with a helmet and send us the pictures. Do pros complain about helmets?..if you rode in a country with sun you would know that styrofoam actually keeps your head cool.. Ps ice hockey players say they dont need mouthguards..ask them to smile

What gear’s he running on that?
looks like about 110 inches… 👿
Gear
What’s going on with the cranks?? They ain’t standard. :/
They certainly look different
The certainly look different from the standard option
Gonna update the story too cos even though Trek don’t bring it in officially if you’ve got £778 you can get the T1 over here…
look like…
SRM powercranks to me with the spirally logo. it’s a BIG ring though. Austin’s fairly flat though… and the boy’s got some legs on him 🙂
T1: They do, they don’t, they do, they don’t…
update: after speaking with all terrain who were one of the shops down as having the 2009 T1 in, it turns out they haven’t got any after all, and they won’t be getting any either. so maybe you will have to nick across the pond, after all…
Ouch!
