What's your point? They are bonty wheels.0

And SRAM are the groupset sponsors :P0

I was suprised at Contador riding a 54cm frame with him being 5ft 10 tall. Same height as LA who rode a 58cm.0

If you really want to have something to be annoyed at, Astana have been seen using Dura Ace chainsets, re branded as SRAM.
And when i say rebranded, I mean a tiny red sticker, on what is obviously a Dura Ace crank.You live and learn. At any rate, you live0 -

Is it? It doesn't look anything like mine :?0 -
Not on this bike, but others...I didn't say it was as seen on the pic.You live and learn. At any rate, you live0

I'm 5ft 10in and I've always ridden 54cm bikes thought that was normal! Also those 'Bontrager' wheels look like the new Shimano Dura Ace to me0

Actually maybe they don't look like Dura Ace wheels!0
-
That has got to be the ugliest chainset I've ever seen!0

Really? I'm 5ft 10, bought my first Trek after being measured in a 56cm then bought my 2nd in a 58cm.
Like I said earlier both Lance and Bert the same height, Lance rode a 58cm and Bert had his 54cm0 -
im 5 10 and i was measured up for my new bike size55 last bike i had was 57 and i cant tell the difference :shock:cheesy quaver0
-
I guess it's all personal pref. I'm due for a new Trek so will try a 54cm and a 56cm0

Give it time Coyote
I thought it was the fugliest chainset I'd ever seen when I first saw it....even fuglier than Dura Ace when it first came out, but after a couple of months or so of getting used to it I think it looks really nice (it took about 3-4 years for me to like Dura Ace!)0 -

That's cos reach is the most important measurement. Lance must have had very long arms/torso or Bertie very short arms/torso.It's a little like wrestling a gorilla. You don't quit when you're tired. You quit when the gorilla is tired.0 -
The new treks are semi-compact geometry aren't they, so probably slightly smaller size would be better. Lance always rode a horizontal top tube, hence 58. Saying that, I'm 6'2" and ride a 58cm - maybe Lance's bike was surprisingly big? (not that it did him any harm...)0
-
And now he's got a new bike

Every frame has a different geometry and every one is built differently. Who knows, Contador might have shorter legs than LA.0

Good job all that money my work has spent on diversity training hasn't gone to waste - only a few weeks ago I would have made some cheap comment about him riding a burdz bike and wondering about the size of burd he stole the shoes off! I wouldn't dream of doing that now of course now that I am cured.0

I'd quite happily ride one in pink.. Wonder if they'll do it as a Project one frame, would love one 0
