Yes, its only for charity but Der Kaiser is back on the roads. He won’t be racing anytime soon, but here is a glimpse for old times sake. He is riding his own “Jan Ullrich” brand bikes which have fat tubes in the winter and get skinner in July. Jan, send me over a bike so I can test it, help get the new Bike Reviews section going strong.

Jan looks like he is riding his Grand Tour bike which his website describes as:

Jan Ullrich Grand Tour
Jan Ullrich Grand Tour

Until now the Tour de France victory in 1997 was the highlight of Jan Ullrich`s outstanding career.

That is why the “Grand Tour” is the absolute highlight in Jan Ullrich`s frame collection. A premium frame which is hard to match – on this frame everyone feels like a pro. The whole bike is adjusted to the special needs of each individual cyclist, so that the rider can reach their maximum performance.

Jan’s Grand Tour is meant to be a custom fit bike, so no off the rack models to choose from, you have to send Der Kaiser your measurements.

The “Grand Tour” is only built individually to the riders measurements. This is the only way to get the perfect seating position on the bicycle. It’s a prerequisite for a maximum and optimal power transfer. The “Grand Tour” is the optimum for achievement-oriented riders. It is the perfect combination of top performance, sport and true elegance.
