Where's LANCE'S computer?

I didn't look for one today, but on Alpe d'Huez I noticed he was (one of) the only rider without a computer on his handlebars.

About an ounce or so.

I am not stating that it makes sense to leave anything off. I was really only responding to the dude that claimed Armstrong should just "lose another pound".

The weight minimum should mean that we won't see the pros leaving stuff off.
If we start seeing bikes on the market that are well under the weight minimum, then we should see the pros leaving their STI levers on for mountain stages. Wouldn't you rather have an STI lever and a computer instead of lead ballast?

Do you have any idea how significant 1 pound is for an athlete with about 4% body fat? It can make the difference between raging peak form and overwhelming exhaustion.

I've seen plenty of pics of him in the past without a computer on the bike (just look at the cover of july's cycle sport). maybe it's a weight thing?

More than they weighed 10 years ago.
