I only own bikes that I can ride. However, if I were to, somehow, be in a position to acquire a bike that Eddy actually rode in a TDF win, I'd jump at it! That's the sort of thing that you'd just have to do...even though I'd feel unworthy to ride it if it WERE my size. Imagine the horrible feeling if you crashed it!! Richard Reno Green Bay, WI. (where it's -9 F but no mention of it on the National News, we must be tougher than those in the northeast)
