How much does Lance Armstrong spend on a bicycle?

Lance Armstrong doesn't generally buy his own bicycles. This is because most of the time he races with a team, and the team supplies the bikes. He probably has cycles given to him by the teams, too. Note that Lance and his teammates run different bikes on different legs of a big race like The Tour. Same brand, but different types. Again, the team supplies them. Part of a cycling team's contract is sponsorship, and different cycling companies will vie for the opportunity to supply the machines on which Lance and his teammates will ride. You can understand why, too. If you built bikes, it would be cool if Lance was wearing a yellow jersey at the end of The Tour and he rode your units through the race. It would translate into more dollars for you, too. If you're curious about the cost of the bikes he rides, the best bet is to identify the bike and the groupo and wheels he's running and then price them. With a little research, you should be able to pull this up. A local bike shop with hard core followers might already be able to tell you what Lance is running, and be able to ball park the costs. Certainly the team is not shy about advertising the bikes it is putting under its riders.
