So what's going on with this Trek Postal Team bike, which L**** is on, and what was it used for:
Clip-ons, not permitted on road stages, so it must be for a time trial. But Postal had time trial bikes, so why configure a road bike with clip-ons?
Front shift lever replaced with a down tube lever, but why? To save weight?
Maybe for the 2004 l'Alpe d'Huez time trial? But L**** didn't use clip-ons for that.
Maybe it was something they tried, but decided against using.
