| The Liberty Seguros team's BH bikes were some of the most eye-catching at this year's Tour de France, as they were decked out in some special custom-finished parts. It's not the first time Manooo Saiz' boys have been aboard unusual machines. For the centenary Tour de France in 2003 the team then known as ONCE had special bikes with black-and-gold Campagnolo components . Matching brakes Before the start of Stage 13 of the Tour de France in Miramas, Cyclingnews had the chance the take shots of some very special equipment made for the nine Liberty Seguros-Würth riders at this year's Grand Boucle. The Campagnolo rear derailleur "Nice, huh?" was all head mechanic Faustino Muņoz said when we pointed at the unique insignia on the brake levers with a decidedly quizzical expression. After a little more prompting, Muņoz said a few more words, telling Cyclingnews that the team's equipment suppliers had made the special edition equipment for the team, which extended to the Mavic brake calipers and Campagnolo Ergopower shifters rear derailleur. The symbol - a sort of very stylised 'M' - designates team manager Manolo Saiz, it seems. KMC's gold-plated 10-speed chain. While there's no difference in weight, the items certainly make the already tricked-out BH bike look even tricker (if that's a word), along with KMC's gold-plated chain to boot. And once the chain's done it's life, Ali G fans can wear it round their necks. With a degrease beforehand, of course! http://www.bike-zone.com/road/2005/tour05/tech/?id=/tech/2005/features/tour05/round-up5
