Bikes at the 2004 Tour de Georgia

By Paul Mirtschin and Mark Zalewski

America's premier stage race, the 2004 Dodge Tour de Georgia, brought some of cycling's biggest names to the usually quiet roads of Georgia. And with them came some of the biggest brands in the peloton. Orbea, Specialized, Litespeed and more were all present, showing off bikes that some of us can only dream of. So to pass on the pain of having to only look at them, we present a look at the bike-porn from the Tour de Georgia.
