Orbea Orca
Ridden to an Olympic gold medal in Beijing by Basque rider Samuel Sanchez, the next-gen Orca performed to the expectations of the team of skilled designers who took an award-winning design and made it better. Orca was the first of our bikes to be built using Orbea’s proprietary Size Specific Nerve (SSN) technology, which utilizes specific design characteristics for each frame size, making the ride quality consistent from the smallest to largest rider. A higher percentage of Toray’s premium M40J carbon fiber made Orca lighter, but with a 20% increase in bottom bracket stiffness. Paired with Orca’s complex tube shaping the result is a bike with great visual lines and incredible road feel. Truly the best racing machine available, with a lifetime warranty to back it up.

Lance Armstrong
Lance Armstrong (born Lance Edward Gunderson on September 18, 1971) is an American professional road racing cyclist who rides for the Kazakhstan-based UCI ProTeam Astana.
He won the Tour de France a record-breaking seven consecutive years, from 1999 to 2005. He is the only individual to win seven times, having broken the previous record of five wins, shared by Miguel Indurain and Bernard Hinault, Eddy Merckx and Jacques Anquetil. He has survived testicular cancer, a tumor that metastasized to his brain and lungs, in 1996. His cancer treatments included brain and testicular surgery and extensive chemotherapy, and his prognosis was originally poor.
In 1999, he was named the American Broadcasting Company Wide World of Sports Athlete of the Year. In 2000 he won the Prince of Asturias Award in Sports.[3] In 2002, Sports Illustrated magazine named him Sportsman of the Year. He was also named Associated Press Male Athlete of the Year for 2002, 2003, 2004, and 2005. He received ESPN's ESPY Award for Best Male Athlete in 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2006, and won the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Overseas Personality Award in 2003. Armstrong retired from racing on July 24, 2005, at the end of the 2005 Tour de France, but returned to competitive cycling in January 2009.
Tour de France
The Tour de France is an annual bicycle race that covers more than 3,500 kilometres (2,200 mi) throughout France and bordering countries. The race usually lasts 23 days and attracts cyclists from around the world. The race is broken down into day-long segments, called stages. Individual times to finish each stage are totaled up to determine the overall winner at the end of the race. The rider with the least elapsed time at the end of each day wears the prestigious yellow jersey.[1] The course changes every year but it has always finished in Paris and in more recent years along the Champs-Élysées. There are similar races in Italy and Spain but the Tour de France is the oldest, the most prestigious and the best known.

Jamis Xenith SL
All the technology in the world, the fancy ads, the awards—they don’t mean squat once the gun goes off. Being first across the line—that’s all that matters. That’s what these Xeniths are all about.
Colavita’s pros love their Xeniths. The thing is, word’s gotten around about how light, stiff and responsive their bikes are, and the rest of the peloton looks at their Xeniths like an unfair advantage. In the pros, there are two types of bikes—the ones sponsors make you ride and the ones you want to ride. Like the Xenith SL or Team.

Trek Livestrong
The Story
After three years of retirement, Lance Armstrong is back on the bike and ready to race. Lance returns to the professional ranks in pursuit of more Grand Tour wins and in support of his global cancer-fighting initiative and LIVESTRONG Foundation. The Cancer fight is something that Lance cites as his primary focus for his return- even asking Trek to help him promote his campaign.
The result? On Lance’s new custom painted Madone you’ll notice two significant numbers — 1274 and 27.5. The former signifies the number of days Armstrong was in retirement. During this time, nearly 27.5 million people worldwide succumbed to cancer. 27.5- it’s a huge number, a huge battle, but one we’re proud to help Lance fight.
Lance’s Choice, Your Choice.
So- the world’s greatest stage racer decides to come out of retirement. Sounds like a good opportunity to do something special. Good thing Trek is set up to do special paint for not only Lance, but any rider that wants a unique paint scheme or parts build. We call it Project One — our build to order system that can create a new Madone or TTX from the ground up to your or Lance’s exact wishes.
Lance chose to go with a 58cm 2009 Madone 6.9 Pro fuselage; the very same frame we offer to the public. The ‘Pro’ designation, as opposed to a ‘Performance’ version pertains to the height of the headtube. The Pro version has a 30mm shorter headtube for a lower hand position. We actually sell substantially more Performance versions, but for Lance, aero matters more than most.
The 1274 : 27.5 paint scheme was designed within the Trek creative team, and painted in our Waterloo, Wisconsin facility using no decals. Look close and you’ll realize the challenge in not using vinyl stickers for graphics. Using a complex series of paint masks, each letter, logo and design element is masked to size, painted and then covered for the next layer. The first one took 40 hours by our best painter, but we’ll get faster.

The Prince returned to dominate.
2008 will become known as the year of the Prince.
Its World-wide success was unprecedented as it won countless awards around the globe, including the Editors' Choice for Best Race Bike from Bicycling magazine (USA), Bike of the Year from Ciclismo (Italy) and Best of Show EuroBike from CycleSport (UK) to name a few.
The characteristics of the Prince are summarized best in the enthusiastic comments from Prince owners.
In the words of one: "Incredible. A river of completely new feelings is lived on the Prince, feelings that literally ignite a demanding cyclist: the handling is extraordinary on high speed curves, tremendously explosive on violent accelerations and then when you get to know it the pedals seem to spin as if driven by a motor putting all the power from your legs to the pavement." The new 2009 production is built with our exclusive Torayca® carbon 50HM1K.
A 54 cm complete Prince with Charisma wheels and Most accessories weighs approximately 6700 grams, the frame alone in the same size approximately 900 grams.
