Nanotubes Win le Tour?

That's right, if Floyd Landis wins the Tour de France, it's not only a victory for him and his team (and people with bum hips), but for the bike maker, BMC, who has incorporated carbon nanotube technology into their frames.

If you're interested, read the full story over here at CNET.

One aspect of the article that interests me is when they state the frame weights 2.2 Kg or about 965 grams and that it's one of the lightest frames in the peloton. But then I remembered the Scott ad about their frames weighing 880 grams. Those are ridden by Saunier Duval/Prodir cycing team. Either way, if it's a bike and it's being ridden in the Tour, you can expect it to be top o' the line.
