If there is one bike I feel sorry for.....

.....it's actually this one. This is Larry Nolan's Serotta Ottrott. And yes, this bike has seen some great times and victories. But the punishment this thing must take is HUGE! I remember seeing Larry at the EMC Crit last year, as well as the Fremont Crit and the Nevada City Classic - and this bike was getting pounded like a nail at a carpenters convention. Just brutal. Of course, it's nice to know that if you spend $8,000 on a racing bicycle, it'll stand up to almost anything.

Good luck this season Ottrott - may the pain pass quickly.
