Lance's bike

I thought I had noticed something different about Lance bike versus the current Trek 5900 currently in stores. With the latest news on Beloki and Lance’s brush with disaster, a whole bunch of pictures popped-up showing that his bike is indeed different. Aside from the new Dura Ace grupo and what seem to be prototype wheels, his frame has a rear cut-out and seems to have a different top-tube.

Anyone care to comment?

It’s a Trek Madrone 5.9. It is a 2004 model. http://www.lancearmstrong.com/lance/online2.nsf/html/FAQ
