If I recall correctly, the only Tour in which Armstrong used the Litespeed was in 1999 (perhaps in 2000 as well, but I don't think so), because Trek didn't make a suitable time trial frame at the time.

When did Armstrong ever use Suntour brakes? He has recently been using Shimano Dura-Ace AX brakes on his time trial bike, but I don't recall ever seeing other brakes.
