How can a pro of the caliber of Tom Boonen have problems with his bike???? If any of you have read Belgium Knee Warmers you will see that Tornado Tom is riding a modified piece of crap Specialized Langster Fixed gear wannabe Messenger bike. The aluminum frame is the only one they could alter the geometry on and that is what they settled on. Remember that carbon usually comes in xs,s,m,l,xl and if you don't fit any of these perfectly you are out of luck.
Can anyone out there imagine Merckx, Hinault, Indurain, Lemond, Armstrong, Pantani, Virenque etc, etc, etc riding a Langster??
Tom Boonen must be the coolest, most Pro guy in the peloton for being so patient. Any of the above guys would have thrown a shit fit on National T.v.
I hope the Specialized sponsorship is over soon and we see Tom on the most Bling, Prada fitting, gold dusted, nubile bike in the world. Dario??? Dario........are you out there?????

Those days of PRO's riding not so discreetly disguised non-team bike frames are over. Nobody is above "the sponsor". Shame...
