The latest Discovery Channel hot rod project to come through Trek was this fixed gear track bike for George Hincapie. Apparently, George's coach said he needed to do some training on a fixed gear bike so team liaison Scott Daubert had this Madone frame modified with some one-off track specific dropouts (w/ 120mm spacing) made by our Advanced Concept Group. Look for the inside scoop from George on the next Exit 180 newsletter after we chase him down at the team training camp in Solvang.

Looks like a liquor store in the south.

What do you think this is, a cycling blog or something?
whats your score in this?... fishy... using my site to do trek promo?... where is my free bike?... fucking guy...
I thought the paint job looked more like a can of redbull...
It's not for any hour record. It's just a plain friggin fixie to train on. And yeah, it's ugly as sin.
To the guy who busted on the paint job....look behind you, there on the floor. That's your imagination.
"Why couldn't they just make it look like all the other Discovery bikes?!?!? Why!??! Why?!?!"
-A guy in the south.
i like the bike behind it
bike in back is better. who cares about another fisher-price bike. The one behind is cool....
Yeah I agree, if anyone makes a pass at the hour record, it should be on that cruiser...
I dare the UCI to DQ it for fairings...
On a more relevant note; why do chicks like GH??

E-Rok-
nah, no promo, just pulled it straight off of an internal T-Rex website for dealers- used without any kind of permission whatsoever. ha ha!!
Besides, what do you need a free bike for- you're a pro, shouldn't you be getting one?
GH for chicks= big boobs, and who doesn't like boobies?
Ree-
Ask my wife. I don't know what it is, but hey, it was the reason she let me watch the tour and even sat down and watched it with me for a few.
Maybe it has something to do with being the kinda guy who's willing to stick it out and do all the work just so someone else can finish first...
Vitch-
Ree-on the Pee-on is a special name not many people know about. Congrats on being on the inner circle.
Also, I had to read your response twice for my clean mind to wrap around what you were getting at. I was like, why does Vitch's wife care how much work GH does?
I am still looking for an answer... any female visitors care to share some insight?

Ryan,
Sorry 'bout the Ree thing, I do it fondly and internally and it just came out. I meant no disrespect. Over the past, what, 15 years I have moved a hockey stick and frame pump of yours thinking that some day I'd get them back to you and both have "Ree" written on 'em somewhere. It's kinda become part of my internal monologue each time I move: "Crap, one of thses days these'll go back to that 'Ree' character."
I gotta say, I kinda missed the "Vitch" tag. Ree.
On Hincapie...
First there's his name; it's fun to say.
Then there's the fact that he's tough. The dude's a hammer. He's tall, dark and skinny. And shy, which comes off as aloof. Mysterious. His win this year in France was so out of character. He usually just misses, or has some kind of crappy bike race luck (the plethora of Paris-Roubaix almost wins...or "if only" instances). So he appeals to that hard luck kinda of thing. He takes his losses well...
He also looks really good on his bike---smooth, skinny, panther-like. He's not my type at all...I wouldn't throw him out of bed or anything...but I am more the Indurain/Cipollini fan...(no irony here that my husband's nick-names on the bike are "Big Mig" and "Taylorini")
Tall skinny dudes rule!
Chicks are loopy though--
...all those guys are skinny.
and that's coming from a really skinny guy.

From a female friend:
For me it would be because he is tall, athletic, and somewhat handsome. he has his moments to not be so hot but for the most part he usually is. I am 5'10" so therefore the fact that his is tall is a PLUS!!! and i am from where he lives now in SC, my dad actually lives right down the street, so that is another plus. George is just an all around "good guy" and girls like that! What did you wife say about him? He's just HOT!
Actually, I think the exact phrase my wife used was, "That's just one sweet ride"
dirty, all of you- filthy.
I need to go to church.
