Bontrager-Livestrong's Joe Dombrowski finished stage five of the USA Pro Challenge in the Best Young Rider jersey and in sixth on General Classification. His Trek Madone 7 Team Edition is very similar to the rest of his young teammates', though his 82cm seat height makes his stand out from the pack. Photo: Logan VonBokel | VeloNews.com

Dombrowski spends his day with this same view. He runs a 115mm Bontrager XXX Lite carbon stem, giving him a reach of 61cm from the tip of his saddle to the center of the bars. Photo: Logan VonBokel | VeloNews.com

Bontrager-Livestrong mechanic Eric Fostvedt called the stickers on Dombrowski's top tube, 'Axel's Axes.' Director Axel Merckx awards the axes to a rider when they spend a day in a leaders jersey, win, or have a great race — similar to The Ohio State's football helmets.

Atop Dombrowski's Madone 7 Team Issue is the aptly named Bontrager Team Issue saddle. A larger saddle than most in the Bontrager line, but as much time as Dombrowski spends racing, comfort is the name of the game. Photo: Logan VonBokel | VeloNews.com

Logan VonBokel
Equally at home on a mountain bike above treeline and chasing down moves in the heat and humidity of a Midwest criterium, Logan Vonbokel is something of an oddity in cycling. Since he first swung a leg over a road bike as a freshman in high school, Logan has been a lover of both cutting-edge technological innovations and the clean lines of classic handmade bikes. Logan joined the tech team in May 2012, bringing with him nearly a decade of high-caliber road racing experience and his undying love for the mud, cowbells, and culture of cyclocross. Logan still races at the Cat. 2 level on the road and in cyclocross, and carries a seldom-used Cat. 1 mountain bike license.
