Lance got a new ride decked out by an artist… http://www.multisporthq.com/2009/03/08/lance-armstrongs-new-kaws-trek-madone/
What’s the saying…
“One man’s trash is another man’s treasurer”
I think art is the same…
i dont think it looks that much different than his normal ride. it just has teeth painted on it? i cant decide if i like it.
Almost as bad as a Cervelo paint job…

the link you’ve justed posted will cause a shitstorm on ST because people will realize that lance uses TUBULARS gasps
their universe will implode upon itself! OH THE HUMANITY!!
No man, it’s conceptual. The half circles represent lance’s life before and after cancer, or own yin and yang, the sun and the moon, Johan Bruyneel and Chris Carmichael, George Hincapie and Floyd Landis… uh… the Olsen twins?
I get it, the real reason for Lance’s comeback was to stimulate the American economy through his purchase of a new, custom-painted Trek bike every week!

purchase?
he’s killing the economy!..not saving it. trek gives him a new $10,000 bike like ever other week hah. he should pass them along to me when he’s finished. ![]()
I dunno, I kind of like it. And the little half circles are teeth!
I’m guessing that the gig is that Trek supplies him with a bike-a-week, he rides it for awhile, then it gets auctioned off for the benefit of the LiveStrong foundation.
it’s more like new bikes before a race… i believe the two bikes he got yesterday were strictly made for looking at… they are art for the livestrong art thing that launched in los angeles this week.
Saw it last night at a Hope Rides Again charity thing. They closed Sunset Blvd and a bunch of us “rode” with Lance from Children’s Hospital to a theater where he presented his new Livestrong campaign (“riding” with him, as in, 500 riders riding down Sunset, didn’t see him at all but I am told he was up there
)
New campaign is called Stages. He and Nike have contacted a number of contemporary artists,. many are painting bikes that he’ll ride and then be auctioned off for charity
might be my eyes, but those look more like clinchers to me.
They look like Race XXX Lite tubulars to me.
