Steel is real baby.....


......and this bike made me wanna ride steel again. This is my teammate's Tallerico. And man, with full Campy Record componentry and Ritchey DS wheels......this thing looked sahweet. Of course Richard's Tallerico weighs about nine pounds less than my steel LeMond.....also known as "The Yellow Tank". I swear, that LeMond was built up to withstand the Apocalypse. And when you consider I'm a Guinea Pig on the Guinea Pigging training schedule, it's probably better that it was built that way. Speaking of which, I heard the Polish National Team practices pedaling 39x24s all the way down descents. Anyone up for some 250 rpm drills tomorrow???
