Well, there probably isn't a bike part that I don't have a napkin design for, but the same goes for a lounge chair and a new toll booth design. I guess that's just the way I'm wired, if I see something I autoatically think about a different way to do the same thing (and hopefully better). And I guess that is the arrogance of the designer, you always think you can do something better.

But right now I have little interest in making an aerobar, the two things in connection to aerobars that I am interested in is making sure what we spec on our bikes works, and making sure that what I pick for Team CSC is liked by them. The first portion is fairly easy, most people love Syntace (and for good reason), the second part is tougher because Riis is so picky and has all these ideas. I can do something with his bike ideas (either rebuff them or use them), but of course when it comes to his ideas for other parts all I can do is parlay them and hope something is done with them.

Tell Riis the Scott bars always work great!! HA,HA



Much love, Greg Lemond

Man, I wouldn't wish the aerobar thing on anyone. Based on my conversations with Anne And Steve Hed about what they went through designing and building their aero bars, it is a huge project. Aspects of it may even be more difficult than building and designing a bike.
