	Even though there is already discussion about Lance & Tyler's bikes, I was checking out the pictures at www.grahamwatson.com, and I noticed something... Can anyone Identify this crankset - Could it be a prototype of a Time Carbon Crankset? It does seem like the perfect component for Time to produce There's one of those darker shades of Dura Ace 7800 Cranks

And the conclusion made was that Dura-Ace produced a few of some other colours If you review all the pictures of Iban Mayo - It is not possible that the light makes every picture of that crank darker.

	Sloping Geometry, Columbus Airplane Tubing. No bolts on seat tube bottle holder bosses. Less than 1cm clearance between the tire and seat tube! (Note, this is not the exact bike Iban raced - Different chainrings) Drilled out Derailleur cage. Non Dura-Ace 10spd cassette(Possibly Tiso). Drilled out Levers! ITM Unika Carbon Handlebar & ITM Magnesium The Stem

Funny how those look like the lighter colored 7800 cranks....how many "colors" does this crankset come in, anyway? _________________ "Gimondi è un eroe umano, che viene sconfitto ma che continua la sua corsa fino a tornare a vincere." - Enrico Ruggeri

There is one color, the different looks is from different angles of light reflecting and shadows. _________________ MAMA SAID KNOCK YOU OUT! HUH!

Question: does Orbea sell this frame to the general public? Attachments: mayo_ventoux16.jpg [ 38.82 KiB | Viewed 616 times ]
