February 13th, 2009 by Al Fresco 14,272 views One Comment

Here in the U.S., the Tour of California is our first opportunity to see a lot of the European pros, and for those of us who are equipment geeks, their bikes. There have been a number of sites posting pictures of bikes lately, but I’ll try to pull it all together into one post.

First off, we have Levi Leipheimer’s time trial bike:

Next, we have Carlos Sastre’s new Cervelo S3. We already covered this one in a separate post, but it’s so sweet, I had to show it again.

Velo News had a feature on Tom Zirbel’s Bissell Pinarello time trial bike

VN also had a feature on BH Bikes AG2R Team Replica

BikeRadar.com took an up close look at Ivan Basso’s Cannondale SuperSix Hi-Mod prototype

BelgiumKneeWarmers.com had the following four pictures:

I’m sure that there are more. If you have pictures from the race, or have seen other articles, send me a link via the comments or the contact page and I’ll add them to the post.
