I think it will age well. Especially nice vintage, this article: Intellectual and witty, yet understated, with a distinct aroma of chamois lube. I think it will age well.

I'm so sick of hearing Greg Lemond whine on TV, I would never buy one of his bikes, because that would just encourage him. His logic appears to be I'm the best cyclist ever, so if someone wins a race, or does better than I did, they must be doping. Ever time an allegation if made, they roll out Lemond who, automatically assuming guilt, empores them to confess for the sancity of the support (and the further development of his ego). It's sad, because he could have been a cherished U.S. cyclist. Amen! I’m so sick of hearing Greg Lemond whine on TV, I would never buy one of his bikes, because that would just encourage him.

There is certainly room for both in American cycling history, and the successes of one do not eclipse the successes of the other. Greg did if first in two very gutsy performances, and that does not change, regardless of what Lance has done. That is, of course, unless Greg continues to chomp on sour grapes. http://gl.nidus.net/greg_lemond.html Whatever the case, thanks for the long-overdue arbitration. With any luck he will see it and realize that he is being a little petty and that he looks foolish in doing so.

Not to mention the picture of LeMond and Lance talking at the 1994 Tour de France---probably the last photo of them ever talking to directly to each other. I put an autographed Lance poster on eBay this week, with all proceeds to go to the LAF. Check it out: Lance Armstrong Autographed Poster http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330226653405&ssPageName=ADME:L:LCA:US:1123 Thanks! I love it!!!

What do we get out of the deal? Good thing I like my bike, because my resale value is now next to nothing. First the stock market, now this. What a year. Perhaps I should quit riding it in hopes that a penultimate model year Lemond-branded Trek will be worth something someday. What about all of us Lemond owners? What do we get out of the deal?
