Best team bike
 |
Depending on exactly how one counts the figures your deam team ride is a carbon fiber Trek, as ridden by US Postal Service, or a Colnago. The US Postal Service's bikes swept the poll with a healthy lead over Telekom's Pinarellos in second, but Colnago's bikes were mentioned as equipment for three teams, and were the only bikes to recieve a significant number of votes in their own right, rather than in association with a team.
Similarly, Pinarello's multiple-sponsorship policy would have put the other big Italian bike builder much closer to Trek if we'd aggregated the votes by manufacturer - but we asked or your favourite team bike, so we decided the fair ranking was by team. If you disagree, the numbers are there for you to do your own sums!
