not really look at around 3:00 when he's next to garrett. there speed and cadence are nearly identical. and since that bike is lance's commuter there is no reason to have a SUPER high ratio. lance started a shop called mellow johnny's apparently.

are you for real ? mash didnt set lance up with anything . Lance has been training with fixed gears for years and years .

Also , I heard about some bike swap meet in dc tomorrow but I doubt its worth going to .

I will probably be buying a set next month m along with some other gems . Can you say 350 for a set?

and lance has always trained with fixed gear bikes to improve his training . Heres an interview from 1997

"Bill: - You have now started working hard with your trainer Chris Carmichael. You have been doing about 1000 kms per week with base level work and lots of fixed gear work. I recall you saying Nothing!!!!! in response to a question about what was it you liked about fixed gear training.

At this time of year (building base) I love fixed gear training for the great pedalling discipline it provides. Do you think about riding at that level when you are out on your own? Pedalling technique, tempo? What do you think about when you are riding?

Lance: - I do think a lot about that because I am not a particularly smooth rider and I need all the help with that I can get. What do I think about while riding...sex, of course."

Lance is also a editor at supertouch , and he posted this about the mash ride

"Here at Supertouch when we put the boys of MASH SF together with superhuman cyclist and returning Tour 2009 contender LANCE ARMSTRONG in his hometown of Austin, Texas, the chemistry was immediate and obvious. Having spent hundreds of hours on a fixed gear bike throughout his years training for competition in order to improve his stroke, Lance has been long acquainted with the business end of a fixed gear cycle, a fact not lost on the hardcore single-gearheads of MASH. "

it's a shame

 

Most hardcore roadies will train on track bikes or fixed conversions to help with their cadence, especially in the high revs. Riding fixed makes you have to be smooth.

Off Topic a bit...

Picked up a 72 Schwinn Paramount Road Bike...built Dec 72, #16

All Campy Record cranks/hubs, seat post, track pedals/clips/straps, and Cinelli Stem, Brooks Pro saddle...all original and pretty minty. Got it for 20 bucks Will post pics soon. Has the chrome campy dropouts and everything.

 

 

yes, Skye, that post was actually just for you...I know nobody else will care much
