Although CSC ride stock bikes the level of care and quality given to their bikes is not the same. This isn't only true of Cervelo.

Sounds like a Trek. Yeah, the racers race on "stock" frames, but I'm pretty sure those frames aren't just "yanked" out of the warehouse. No proof, but I believe each frame the Discovery/Postal racers used were hand built and picked from a given build lot. All the frames are equal, but some are more equal than others :-) I would imagine Cervelo and CSC have similar "arrangements".

Further more, I think Lance's frame is sized for him! The molds are then used to build frames for the public. They are very expensive after all, and Trek needs to recover their mold costs. Semantics, but think of it as "you are riding a frame designed for Armstrong rather than he is riding a frame for John Q Public".
