Team: Milram
Bikes: Focus Izalco Team Milram
Info: Focus http://www.focus-bikes.com is a bit of an unknown brand in the U.S., although now has U.S. distribution. The only difference between the bikes the team will roll at the TdF and the $11,900 (!) model Americans can buy is in the wheelset: Consumers get Mavic Cosmic Carbone SLR wheels, while the team races on even more exclusive (1,150g; $5,400) Lightweight Standard III carbon tubulars with Continental tires. BTW, Bicycling reviews the Izalco Team Milram in its present (August) issue.
Specs: SRAM Red drivetrain, Fi:zi'k Arione K:IUM saddles, FSA Carbon post and bars, FSA OS 115C stem; Lightweight Standard III wheels with Conti Force / GP Attack tires.
