Its probably about the same as the price the other riders use; they are all custom built.
:dance:

Well the OLN channel reported that Lance's bike cost $25K. Remember its a special made bike with all of the latest high tech enhancements, including dampers in the handlebars to reduce shock from bumps in the road.

Another thing I learned watching the Tour is that there are prizes within the race. For example, one rider earned $6K for being the first rider to the top of one of the mountain passes. So there is big prize money in this race for those who participate but do not win. Next I gotta fine out how much Lance will earn as the Tour winner. Anyone know already

I have never watched a Tour De France and prolly never will. I just don't have any interest in them.

Looks like he won number 7. What a long ride he had. Probably pissed a few people off this time I'm sure.

Congrats to Lance Armstrong on going out in style. 7 Tour De France wins is now in the record books.
