Brett Favre, who led the Green Bay Packers to a Super Bowl victory and was the NFL's most valuable player three times, is staying in shape after his stellar football career by cycling.
And he recently got this stealth-looking ride from Waterloo, Wisconsin-based Trek Bikes. The former star QB they call "The Gunslinger" is riding a custom Project One Madone. He rides 120 miles a week, Trek says, and he's even getting into the triathlon scene.
Check out some of the nice touches on Favre's new ride:

Favre's new bike is a custom-made Trek Project One Madone. As you can see, it's mostly black with green lettering in honor of Favre's time playing for the Green Bay Packers, where he won a Super Bowl and set a slew of NFL records.
The bike is made of carbon fiber and has top-of-line goodies all around, including high-performance carbon aero wheels, made by Bontrager, and a pro-level electronic components group from Shimano. We don't know the actual weight and cost of Favre's bike, but we're pretty sure it's a tad over 15 pounds — impressive considering the large size needed to suit Favre's build — and costs at least $12,000. This bike is Tour de France-worthy all around.
Favre's Trek Madone is the essentially the same as those raced in the Tour de France.
Favre's career highlights are custom-painted under the frame's top tube. They include his Super Bowl win, MVP awards, Pro Bowl appearances, touchdowns, passing stats, and, of course, his number, 4, which the Packers honored by retiring.
