Have you seen Lance's new ride for the Leadville 100? Anyone doing this ride?

Know any specs on it?

Here's an article with some specs. It's hard to imagine that he actually would have picked a Fisher after his long Trek sponsorship.

Lance Armstrong is riding a tricked out 23-pound full suspension Trek at next week's Leadville 100. - VeloNews

Yeah, I saw it, he rode it today 4.5 hours and two flat tires...and 2 flat legs. It is a very cool bike and he will auction it off after the ride for charity.

Well since Trek owns and makes Gary Fisher it really doesn't surprise me.

I didn't even know Lance competed in MTB trials? This new or has he always been involved.

He did this same race last year and got third, I think. This year he's probably the favorite since he's been training hardcore again. He's been riding MTBs for a while, and I remember the announcers commenting on his bike handling skills, thanks to his mountain biking, when he had to cut across that field in the '03 TDF to avoid Beloki who crashed in front of him

I bet he would have wrecked cutting across the field if he didn't have his MTB skills. That is pretty cool to watch if you haven't seen it either.
