Astana bikes at Nevada City

Looking at the pics over at cycleto I notice that Horner is riding a
standard issue Trek, but Lance and Levi have frames that are blacked
out. What's up with that?

Thanks for reminding me. As a small token of my appreciation of his
fatness (His Fatness?) I have now blocked user 'roadbikereview' on
Twitter. Not that he was following me, but just in case.

Really? I haven't looked at any pix too closely and wasn't at Nevada City.
Were the bikes different?

Non-candyass prediction: when released, this will be the new Trek
Madderone.

Either that, or Lance is cheating on Trek.

Seriously, these things would be less conspicuous with a few Trek decals
on them. Temporary blackout job over bold new graphics, possibly by
Shepherd Fairey?

You saw the new Madone. The one Chris was riding. Lance and Levi were
riding the pre-production prototypes they've been testing for a while.
In a non-race environment, it makes sense to have no graphics, no name.
Matte black helps to hide tube shapes, and the lack of graphics... well
actually I think it's just kinda dumb, 'cuz you see something with no
decals and that's going to cause you to get more, not less interested.

But no matter what, it doesn't make sense to have your top guys, in a
race, on a bike with no manufacturer name on it. Of course, it was only
at the very last minute that it was decided they'd be riding Nevada
City.
