That was the deal. Now that livestrong will somehow sponsor the team in a more major way starting in a week or two, this will only ramp up.

I alsays like the tech sections on the mechanic’s tools and the team buses, too.

And I have no problem with Lance standing out by riding something that looks different. It’s not like all the other bikes are subtle muted colors designed to blend into the hillsides.

But it seems like a waste to have these high-functioning machines end up merely as decorations somewhere.

I’ve painted and created quite a few decal jobs for bikes, it’s amazing what it does for the bikes “persona”.
