Custom Trek Madone for Tim Don

In case you hadn't heard, Tim Don, Trek sponsored National Triathlon Champion, has qualified and been selected for the Beijing Olympics. Nice one Tim. As this is Trek and that is the IOC, Tim gets not one but two Olympic bikes, A and B. Or B and A. As they're identical, he could ride either and not notice the difference.

Having built them up, Colin, who runs the Tech Services department in Trek UK, felt compelled to weigh the colourful beasts. 14lbs. With a spec of SRAM Red, Bontrager Race XXX Lite components and wheels, he can feel secure in the knowledge that the light weight of the bike owes nothing to flimsy, 'race only' exotica; these parts are off the shelf units that any keen cyclist can step into a shop and purchase. Which means they're built to last.

Poor old bike B gets shipped to China in a box with a container load of other athletes equipment, while bike A gets VIP treatment, being taken out by Tim himself. Hopefully, providing Tim is feeling generous after the Games, you can see bike A at the Cycle Show in Earl's court in October.
