Nice to them do so well even though I'm pulling for CSC and Discovery.

Indeed! I was drooling over the Liquigas frames at the Cannondale plant fresh from the paint & decal room! You can't believe how light they are before adding any components! I think this thread weighs more than a System Six frame!!

Whodathunk that color combination would be so cool! 8)

Well, those who have seen my bike, know I'm not afraid of a little color <rolly eyes>.

while at my LBS getting my spokes replaced, I saw the team bikes there. They had a Six13 and a System Six. Both had the total package of top of the line componants from SHimano and Campy. I dig that the also have the bikes in clear gloss! :P

Another Cannondale team, Barloworld, has been invited to participate in the Tour de France too! Did you see Di Lucas' bike on the last day of the Giro? Pink handlebar tape and pink saddle to match the pink jersey & shorts! Try wearing that around here and you'd get mugged!

I'd like to get a closer look at their time trial bikes too - supposed to be new prototypes that Cannondale is experimenting with.

It's me again. . .

Take a look at this one from Stage 16 (in fact, look at all of them if you have the time). Awesome, awesome shots. . . wish I was there. Think I'll have to spring for one of the GW jerseys at some point, too.

Liz No I was doing my own riding at a local event called the Pioneer Century. I have to get some more miles in before the STP so I couldn't see that stage race. Lance competed in that event the first season back as a pro after he was cured of cancer. Huge event in Hood River. Huge win for CDALE
