A stylized Spartan helmet makes several appearances on Cancellara's bike. As of July 1st, consumers can order this paint job through Trek's Project One program. -
When Cancellara does battle against the clock, he's hard to beat. For this year's Tour, Trek worked with graphic artist Hydro 74 to develop a custom aesthetic for Fabian. -
Cancellara prefers a straight extension and these are fairly rough looking raw aluminum, but they certainly get the job done. -
Even Cancellara's Lightweight disk gets the Hydro 74 treatment. The front wheel will receive special stickers as well, but they weren't installed yet. -
Cancellara's Speed Concept is impressive to behold. His seat height is 79.2 cm. From the nose of his saddle to the tip of his Di2 shifter is a super long 88 cm. He pushes 177.5mm crank arms and his bike had a 54-tooth chainring, though that many change on the day of the team time trial. -
Few riders have dominated like Fabian Cancellara. With world, Olympic and Swiss national titles in the bag, he's earned those flags on his top tube. -
The uber-clean front end of Trek's Speed Concept is both beautiful and effective. -
Cancellara's Madone gets the same treatment as his Speed Concept. The detail very intricate and best viewed up close. -
