I second that. Video or pics please.

There's a video on Cervelo's website. I've never managed to master it myself. Much prefer vertical drops. Maybe I break my chain too short... Bjorn is really good at it. He can do it clean. Me, I come up a greasy mess.

what is that "knob" in the center of the bars looks like it's coming off the stem? Is it a computer mount?

That's where the extensions mount into.

I can't imagine Lance 2.0 (the 98-2005 version) ever riding a yellow TT bike to start a Tour de France. That takes ball.

I like the effort on the art-not a huge fan of how it looks but will always appreciate someone using a bike as a canvas. Looking forward to seeing his road bike as well.

i don't get this either, but then I never got highly adept at getting a wheel out with vertical dropouts

How could you not figure out vertical dropouts? You just loosen the quick release, lift the rear end and it drops out. Maybe that is just a bit complex for you.

What is that little black thing on the non-drive side chain stay? Looks like an exit port for a cable, but it's on the wrong side of the bike... computer sensor built into the frame?

Seatpost has some serious setback. Is it reversible so that one can get to a real TT position instead of that weak-ass crap the roadies bring? LOL Oh stop it, I kid, but a reversible post would be good for those of us like to ride steep.

That bar is the pro team only bontrager bar. so yes thats where the extensions come out of. Do a search, its in here somewhere. It looks like a awesome bar to bad they dont sell it.

But wait...I thought the UCI had "clarified" that "special" equipment (i.e. not for general sale) wasn't allowed!! <rolleyes>

Looks like different stem options on the two bikes pictured, so presumably the stem piece is interchangable. And yet the cables are all routed through the stem.... I'm curious how that front end is put together.

The yellow one is for the Annecy Time Trial. The black one is for Stage 1...

The white and black one looks really good.
STA looks to be pretty steep. If you click on the pezcycling link, you can see how much set back Lance has on his set-up.
