Armstrong's 2009 Trek Livestrong road racing bicycles (2009 USA)
Went to see a preview of the "art bikes" Lance Armstrong rode in his comeback 2.0 season.

The white one with butterflies and pink rims by Damian Hirst--my favorite--raced the final stage of the Tour de France. NYC cyclist Kenny Scharf did the black Giro d'Italia time trial bike with red and blue swooshes. No. 21 bike yellow with black symbols by Shepard Fairey was at the Giro. "The Widowmaker" custom by artist KAWS did his teeth motif on the road bike Armstrong used early at Milan-San Remo and Vuelta Castilla y Leon, where he crashed and broke a collarbone. Yoshitomo Nara designed the TdF Stage 18 TT bike with Team Astana colored cartoon characters. In the background is the spotted TT bike, by Marc Newson, for the Tour's openning stage in Monaco. Finally, the Tom Sachs 2009 bike was not raced by Armstrong. I guess it was used for recovery.
