that, or he's simply bored riding the same bike for nearly 15 years.

as for the fittest 40 y.o. category - this guy comes to mind: http://www2011.laurent-jalabert.com/

Most people will not know what bike he his riding . As long as it does not say Trek . He still owns some of Trek so wants to keep the damage limitation going . You cannot start picking Armstrongs fit apart because he doped, you will be picking on quite a lot of pro riders if thats your criteria. Doped or not Armstrong is one hell of a bike rider.

Frame probably wasn't built for him. I assume he's borrowing it.

Yes not only was Lance a major doper, major supplier of dope and also not a very nice person, but I still think he was the most talented and focused rider of his generation. Possibly one of the most remarkable athletes in any discipline.

Many thanks fellow Campisconolo devotee, and I hope you weathered the storm OK.

They look like a pair of (professional) sportif riders. Managed to escape the wife and kids for a joyless weekend in Exmoor or somewhere. Upright position - check, black socks - check (for Lance), milkbottle legs - check (for the dork in the foreground). Lance has even got the stealth bike asthetic teenage boys dream of (though I'm sure it's a great frame ...)

Mamils.

Mamil ,ha, ha. Here's what comes up when you google Mamil



Lance and the other guy have a ways to go yet.

If you put someone on the ignore list for posts, does that include the topics this person creates ?
Just wondering.. seems not like that.

I'm not exactly enthusiastic about the guy, but critisizing his bike fit is idiotic. He simply has a more traditional (1980's) fit, which isn't that odd considering when he started being a pro we still only had traditional frames. And on that still I don't see the problem, hardly a freak....

And yeah, I'm biased considering I started racing in 85 and still use traditional frames you guys would say are too big

Also, I understand the scepsis here, but isn't it rather likely the guy likes to ride a bike and bought the best?

Actually for level top tubed bikes, the amount of seatpost shown was mostly fine. Note the unusually thick San Marco.

Or maybe I am getting old.
