In a Eurosport preview Jan's mechanician showed a Giant (with sloping top tube!) to the camera's saying is was Jan's TT bike, but Jan actually rode his Walser _________________ Whow!

	NZKiwiGuy, the picture of Jan racing that you posted isn't of him at the Tour de France, because Jan raced with a 4 spoke rear wheel. Also, it is a walser handlebar, as you can tell by the Carbon Brake lever, compared to the aluminium one on his giant. The Giant also has a silver stem - The Walser that Jan raced didn't. But, as it has already been pointed out... The brake is on the front of the fork.

I know the ONCE ones were made by Tektro of all people (seriously). It's like a BMX u-brake and bolts on to two bosses on the forks.

	I have yet another "break through"... The Giant's frame has an integrated head set... The Walser has a conventional, "external" headset.

As he was not riding it in the TDF, I could not show a picture of it there Any other proof of "re badging" in the TDF
