Subject: [CR]Re: cookie cutter bikes

This thread reminded me of a period when I _really_ wanted to collect team issue bikes!

I went to the Tour Du Pont in 1992 (it was Greg LeMond's last big victory, maybe even his last) and Bianchi was there with Gianni Bugno and his super domestic Laurant Fignon. The Bianchi team had five different team bikes for Bugno. A ti bike, a lugged steel Genius bike, a carbon bike, an aluminum bike, and a funny bike for the time trial.

How's that for variety for one rider at one pro race?
