Levi Leipheimer Time Trial Bike

[Knoedel1993]

FFFUUUUU!

[bolderiks]

So much effort in designing and producing an extraordinary bike. And then the look of these stupid brakes, cables and derailleurs which hang on this bike as grandmothers clothes hangers. I say mr. fail did a good job here.

[squiddie96]

so image seeing one of these locked up outside of a starbucks lol how long before it gets stolen! haha

[tawilk]

i might be new to the sport, but it looked like there was only 1 chainring (54t). if so, why have a front derailleur? wouldn't that just add more weight and wind resistance?

[MrVladislavTaranov]

@tawilk The derailleur keeps the chain from slipping off during extreme high and low gears. High torque in a certain gear can force a chain off which would cause a bit of time loss.

[dudelivestrong]

it made me wet!

[shorerydr10]

are those bontrager wheels made by hed or what???

[mcskylinez]

ja pierdole...

[phonziee]

is this trek or the shiv3 better for ironman?

[localfox1000]

so guys i'm thinking of turning professional...does anyone know where i can get some EPO?? jk :p

[silversimpson]

@localfox1000 well i know this guy...jk

[mtb416]

@localfox1000 Go straight to the source. Steal someone's kidneys.

[cycling4life85]

@localfox1000 just call any proffesional cyclist i personally recommend Lance Armstrong.

[bitterclinger100]

Those wheels cost as much as two months house payment.

[barath4545]

Hmm for a top end bike, I'm really surprised his barend points upwards, when it should be almost flat straight if not declining.

[JULIOHpsp]

ugliest bike ever

[cerealrulz]

Imagine how great Levi would have been if he had, you know, a nice bike?

[grabbindraggon]

Trash

[PAPITOROY]

so sweet

[throttlehard]

Beautiful bike!

[weepaddy123]

it sicks out so i like the couler but see why peopele dont like it

[m015094]

2 things: most time trials will not require the small chainring - so drop it and the front derailleur. 2nd: has anybody thought of using a coaster brake setup? Is that even UCI legal for time trials? (Unless of course it is a technical TT, how much braking do you really do??).

[zekealish]

how are the breaks

[simplybmg]

WOW es una preciosidad esta TREK ...menkanta!

[arek07]

this bike is amazing!

[bordenwesley]

@arek07 But it's not as good as the Ridley Dean.

[Sternplasmaedge]

HOLY CRAP!

[TABAGfrancis]

THE WORLD'S SIMPLEST TRANSMISSION for BICYCLE

[NobleNihilist]

[1019drummer]

ugly fn bike..........

[markusz77]

yes, u r right! The look doesn't affect the performance!

But it's still an ugly bike for me as far as design!

That's all!

[BrundukasLT]

@markusz77 it's beautiful!

[markusz77]

call me crazy.....but I don't like the look of this bike.

[clownsarecool1]

yeah the colors are off-putting. too much contrast

[Gibz101]

Same

[pat25252525]

lol ure crazy!!!!

[rustypirat3]

i've got to agree with you

[tonalli92]

damn man!! I want one of those! Its gorgeous!

[OpTicaL9578]

amazingly bikee:X

[cyclefagg]

Its a shame the bike looks terrible

[jontihobday]

why no disc?

[enyceckk101]

heavier and not good at turning ( windy weather )

[jontihobday]

no way, unless the rules say you aren't allowed a disc (as in kona), pro's always choose a disc. Just look at the TDF TT and the world champ TT.

[ohmygodthesky]

if it is a climbing intensive time trial then you don't want a disc, it is susceptible to the wind (in a crosswind it will slow you down, the spokes are more of an advantage in such a case

[Maxwir44]

Nice bike... :D

[dogsheep25]

To bad he crashed this year

[Tentors]

got to give it to levi hes the best time trial rider when hes in the zone .Your not going to get even close to this dude ..smoking !!
