Interview with former bike racer Andy Hampsten

[smilingcat]

those were the days... Greg LeMonde, Hinnault... Induran the train. He was just untouchable.

I remember when LeMonde got shot in the back from a shot gun. Heard it on the evening news while cooking dinner. And all the comments good and bad that flew around after the accident. Really a shame.

Thank you for the post. Looking at the equipment, I remember mine. I still have problems with the concept of "vintage components". I'm not vintage material Also remeber that odd ball thing called bio-pace chain ring.

Anyway, loved the read.

Thanks for posting that! What a career! I never saw the Giro that he won, but the pic of him in the snow brings it to life. I'm going to see if my lbs has it on tape.

He sounds like a really nice guy.
