Talking about the Giant?
Strange.
Dutch national squad MUST ride Koga.
Other dutch riders are only allowed to ride other branded bikes (world champs, perhaps word cup, too) in individual disciplines.
Serious issue for riders like Marianne Vos and Annemiek van Vleuten. They also like to be in the team pursuit team for London 2012. Kirsten Wild had to switch to AA Drink team for this reason.

Perhaps those people were talking about RABOBANK riders like Theo Bos. Rabobank is also the sponsor of the national squad, but there is no direct like between the Giant equipped Rabo pro team (Theo Bos, Lars Boom, both interested in team pursuit) and the Koga equipped national squad.

The earlier 2005 version you saw were bikes with ALU frames?
Giant supplied them to BALK, who does the rental bikes in the Amsterdam velodrome.
That were stock frames, nowadays called OMNIUM. I still have one like that, but the M-size is a bit too small for me.

I may have been mistaken of course. While we were training out there we were staying at the same hostel as the Belgian, German and Dutch junior squads - All for one race at Alkmaar.

At Amsterdam they had a lot of the Alu bikes there but also the 15 carbon bikes away in the corner all locked up. You couldn't get near the bikes as they'd laid out barriers around them. They had the ISP and the slightly more aero HT but no BB30 (don't think it was out yet)

Here's me (rider at the back) on my white Omnium. Can never remember the years of each colour though. Mine was possibly the 3rd yr they'd made the frame?

The one on the left pisses me off for having one Vento and one Atlanta, Y U NO MATCH AWESOME RIMZ.....

why is the Atlanta so special?

Since this morning i feel like laying down in grass, drinking my head off and eating grilled goodies...
No wonder I think Cannondales look noice today...

Am I to start calling you squidno® ? Where's your backbone? You posted them so FIRM IT. Defend them!

Ditch the QR on the front, match tyres and spoke colour. Still total porn though.

Is this a new GT? I need this frame in my life, yet cant find any info on it

Nice dent on the TT on that GWP

And engage in internet debate about mine is bigger than yours?... hmmm, don't think so.
Said before and will say it again, I post what I like. If it's posted it's because I consider it Porn, whoever doesn't like it will have to deal with it.

Defo a dent 2" to the left of the Columbus logo

Plus, chaintug with slack chain!?

But you tried to blame the TWO posts on the weather (or words to that effect).

ignore me it so farking hot.

Of course it's a dent, I saw it before posting.... but what's of it?.. Still beautiful bike ;P

I like the Cannondale track frame when the set-up it's right.
Max's was 'ok'... albeit looking like a fucking gate..
Those are midget size, but really tasteful.
Wouldn't pay for one though.

Dutch, I was kinda surprised to see Teun Mulder riding a LOOK bike for his 1k tt,
he is in the national squid right? But is that because it's an individual number?

Mulder was in the Cofidis trade team, but that team stopped recently.
Perhaps he doesn't want to swap bikes from LOOK to KOGA so close before the Worlds.
Don't know if he's in the nat. squad. It doesn't mean that much in NL. Just the jersey, no salary. He'll get his own support from NOC/NSF. I think he's still looking for a private sponsor. A free KOGA bike will not be enough for him I guess.
But for a team discipline, he MUST use a KOGA.

They started renting ALU Giant track bikes in Amsterdam.
Perhaps they got some carbon frames later.
There used to be a good relationship between the ex Giant Europe president and Klaas Balk, the person in charge of the rentals.
Giant made some carbon track frames for some of the team riders (Stam, Slippens, Bos, Schep maybe, German riders, etc.). I can imagine that Taiwan produced some extra pcs and that Giant Europe "donated" some to the A'dam track. Every now and then they also show up in auctions on Marktplaats and Ebay. They were never commercially available.

Sell it to me.

Trade against a very nice steel track frame of 49 or 50 cm C-T

I apologize in the name of the Forum, Gridds. Sorry if we can't meet your demand for Porn.
BTW, Why don't you login to Pinkbike.com and start a big thread of STFU?
;)

Pinkbike? Fuck off.

I come on here to see fit bikes.

Maybe I should just go to ilikebikes.tumblr instead.

Bye.
