Bikes: Trek 6 Series Madone; Trek Speed Concept TT bike
The all new 2010 6 series Madone was in development before the 2008 model even came to market. It took 70 redesigns before Trek felt they had a bike ready for the Tour. The stock model with SRAM Red is 13.2 puonds including pedals and cages. Trek actually had to find creative ways to add more than 2 pounds to meet minimum UCI standards for weight. Trek improved every aspect of ride quality of the bike for 2010 and the bike Lance and Alberto ride is exactly the same as the one that people can buy in stores.
Specs: SRAM Red Group; Fork: Bontrager Race XXX Lite w/E2 full carbon steerer; OCLV2 carbon frame; Bontrager Aeolus 5.0 wheels
