Las Vegas Bike Show, 2004

         
 

TREK Bicycle's Dick Moran, in an exceedingly-rare photo with a coffee cup in his hand.  Probably doing research on a new team sponsorship (schmoozing with Starbucks?).
The crack Chain Reaction jersey design team of Amy & Steve from our Los Altos store, assisted by an artist from Voler.  New Chain Reaction jerseys soon!  
   
The new Campagnolo Thong.  Or maybe it's a super-skimpy tri short? Somebody thought it might have been a headband, but that's a stretch.   Vittoria showed off their new "Mobius Strip" tire, with tread on both sides!  Not really sure why you'd need one, but they had some silly reasons.   You might think evil or nice things about Starbucks, but their jersey is pretty cool... but you can't buy them.  Dumb.
   
Bob Roll getting ready to sign a copy of his new book.  No, wait, that's John Burke from TREK!!!???   The real Bob Roll, whose hairline has receded considerably more than John Burke's.    Completing the hair-to-hairless series is Gary Fisher, always dressed to the nines (whatever that means).
   
But the longest line for an autograph?  Not Bob or Gary or even George Hincapie...   ...but the most-famous cyclist ever, Eddy Merckx (along with his son, Axel, also an accomplished bike racer).   We don't sell much Italian product, but if we did, it would come from Bill at Torelli.  Great guy, knows his stuff.
  And just to demonstrate how fake Las Vegas is, even the fakes are fake.  This is a "living statue", someone dressed up as a famous piece of artwork and standing very, very still.
