Looks like 1985 Shimano-Aero Groupo.

I think the crank and brakes are part of his training system... helps measure wattage or something. Can't imagine what the brakes would be doing, though...

Yup, it's a Shimano Dura Ace AX brakeset. The AX series components were the first attempt at 'aero' stuff. Made in 81~83 it never really caught on, but set the mark for trying something new. It was odd-looking at the time, but beautifully designed. You can see some examples here: https://www.classicrendezvous.com/Italy/Tommasini/Tomm_AX_prts.htm

??????? Uh, those cranks are DA and the brakes are AX ( I think?).

Gee I guess we all have to start hunting down our own pair of DA AX now huh... hehe

THAT is his new position? Looks like he's taken some hints from Big Jan there. He must be sooo scared!

But...

Lance DID WIN the time trial stage, and the posties dominated the race. Pretty good considering Lance considered it basically a training ride.

Man! those cranks look funny without the new ring!

LA's running normal D/A rings on his TT machine and they make that crank look ridiculous.

I'll stick with my 9sp versions for the time being thanks.
