Default T-Mobile - a little mistake

Spotted: the bike of Matthias Kessler (T-Mobile, Giant, Shimano)

first: red TCR-C instead of pink, a crank with SrM logo on it and a nice set of Campagnolo's Neureon wheels



second: large Shimano sticker(of course, it's their sponsor, for wheels and the Dura-Ace group) and a nice Carbon Record2004 Carbonfront derailleur. AND a Campagnolo crankset with SrM technoligy



third one: Campagnolo Record2004 Carbon 10 speed rear derailleur, (with the same large Shimano sticker on the Carbon frame)




okay, it looks great that Carbon but I think Shimano is not happy with that

I can understand this driver; You must use the things that the sponsor/team gives you, either you like it or not. In this case : Use Shimano Dura-Ace but prefering the Record group and Campagnolo Wheels

I think you could possibly explain away the SRM system as a training aid, as for the other Campy components...

hmm, possible. But he could use other Shimano parts for rear-derailleur, cassette. wheels. brakes en STI units.

They seems also not really happy with the WH7800 wheels, they think the wheels are to weak, so the most of the drivers want to use FiR Antara wheels
