Re: Paris - Roubaix Question [fredly]

Whoops...

Did you happen to notice that the picture you are citing as "evidence" actually does appear to have the SPA shock on it?

It's partially obscured by the brake caliper.

The SPA bikes have a wishbone stay - standard frames don't.


Actually theres no black part at the wishbone in the pic.

And Wishbone seatstays is not something Trek has just made for the P-R bike, Trek has made several standard bikes with wishbone, for example Trek 5500, 5200, 5000 etc. It would probably have been too expensive anyway to make wishbone seastays just for P-R. In fact the SPA bike is just a standard production Trek 5000 bike with some of the wishbone cut out: http://www.cyclingnews.com/...atures/hincapie_bike

The bike with the black SPA Hincapie took to the podium is not the bike he rode in P-R.

But actually It seems Hincapie did ride with SPA, but definately not the black one as he took to the podium.
Here's some pics of the bike Hincapie raced in P-R:
