I haven't been able to find any good pics of it.

What bike was Lance Armstrong riding at 24HOP?
Probably one he swindled someone out of... That guy is a serious creep and I wish he would stay away from cycling for good.
Agree, and the cycling press could all do us a favor and not cover what he does. After all the scandals, who cares anymore? His group of dopers got more press than the winners of this event.
It's the same weird up arrow thats on his jersey. You can see that from some of the pic on his FB page.
Niner and Lance together does not compute. Odds are it's a Trek. I'm guessing it's an unreleasted/prototype Trek Procaliber. While it doesn't appear have the current looking decoupler, there is something going on in that area.
While he has thrown a leg over a variety of bikes, if he or someone has taken the time to custom paint a bike just for him or his team, it has to be Trek.

Unless it's an old model, it doesn't look like it's a Pivot Les. In the picture, the rear brake looks like it runs through the downtube and is mounted in between the chain and seat stays. The Pivot rear brake runs through the top tube and then on the outside of the chainstay to a chainstay mounted brake.
Team name WEDU, took third I think? All I know is that Lance blew right past me like I wasn't moving and was polite in asking for the pass.
3rd is correct. Possibly one of the coolest stories about that is that the 2nd place team was made of 2 Ft Huachuca Army soldiers and 2 local High Schoolers.
I think that's pretty rad.

"The team's moniker, WEDU, is Armstrong's work-in-progress brand or event platform for promoting and hosting all types of endurance events."
On slide 3 you can see the external downtime cable, which knocks a lot of frames out of the picture.

Although I did not realize it at the time, Lance finished a few seconds behind me on one of my laps. No doubt, had we had another hundred feet to go, he would have flew by me. Nice note about the second place team, that is really cool.

As others have mentioned, there's a cable obviously run along the downtube, and a few pics make it clear there's mounts for it, no zip ties around the whole tube. Looking at the shape of the derailleur hanger end of the frame, and the contrasting protective bits behind the chainring, I'm back to the new Air 9 RDO.
After all, Niner lets Competitive Cyclist and Jenson blow out their 'old' bikes while your LBS still has 'em sitting on the shop floor, so why wouldn't they hook Lance up?
(love/hate relationship with Niner)
Why are we wasting so much time thinking and talking about Lance again?
