Generally we could buy anything and everything. We dealt with Waukesha. However, they didn't want the 1993 ti bikes to get out because EM wanted to claim that the World RR Championship was won on his lugged frame. So, they were under orders to keep the ti frames locked away. As they told us, "Officially, they don't exist." Eddy probably wasn't happy that Lance wanted to race on a Litespeed.
