If you can bring yourself to check out the Mozzie web-site, there is more than a hint that Indurain, Ullrich and Pantani all rode Pegorettis with other teams' paint jobs. Mmm, can't believe anything you see in pro cycling, can you?

yeah that used to be quite common. mind you lance's TT bike when he first won in 99 was a rebadged Litespeed Blade, and I think Bianchi have used Walser TT frames recently.

the hincapie incident is isolated, and it was his fault anyway. according to fellow scouser, and wheel builder extrordinaire... the 60mm deep carbon wheels he was riding may have caused the break, due to absorbing less road shcok than a standard 32hole hand built wheel. So im willing to swwep that one under the carpet...
as for pinarello, they have got to be the most overpriced bikes in all of the world, no!? and they're ugly. not to mention that indurain, riis and ullrich were all on drugs... alegedly!?
