Lance's Livestrong Madone 6.9 Pro
This is one of the first looks at Lance Armstrong's Livestrong Madone 6.9 that he will ride throughout the 2009 season. Trek says that it is directly off of the production line, with no differences from a 6.9 that anyone can buy. The point job does not come standard.
In fact, workers at Trek Inc., spent about 30 hours detailing the bike. The two interesting items on the bike are the '1274' which stands for the number of days Armstrong was 'retired'. The 27.5 is the number, in millions, of people that have died from cancer during that same time. Trek is currently working on a production model of this bike, complete with the paint job you see here. I'm sure it will retail in excess of $10,000.
The groupo on his ride includes Bontrager Aeolus 5.0 wheels and SRAM components.
