Anatomy of a Photo: Take a Look While You Still Can

FDJ guy: Is that the new fizik Kurve in Bull?

Fast Phil: Oui.

FDJ guy: Mind if I have a look?

Fast Phil: Do it while you can because it’ll be blowing past you later.

Marko

Marko lives and rides in the upper midwest of the States, Minnesota specifically. "Cycling territory" and "the midwest" don't usually end up in the same sentence unless the conversation turns to the roots of LeMond, Hampsten, Heiden and Ochowitz. While the pavé and bergs of Flanders are his preferred places to ride, you can usually find him harvesting gravel along forest and farm roads. He owes a lot to Cycling and his greatest contribution to cycling may forever be coining the term Rainbow Turd.

    If the Velominati don't contend to be a "team" but just a community of people who like riding road bikes a lot and argue amongst themselves you're not violating their regs.

    Cool, thanks for the link. My crap HMO has an in-house vision center, which does carry Oakley glasses but they never have the nice sunglasses on display. I'll have to ask them what they can do in that case. My current sunglasses are Raybans with Oakley lenses, and I like the optics a lot.

    Yes, an old-timey prison. He had a cape, a top-hat and a handlebar moustachio, and was last seen being pursued by the keystone cops accompanied by a silent movie score.

    I wish I could drop the V like the Professor. Unfortunately, I've got a long ways to go before I've got the guns to back up that look.

    @mcsqueak
    No problemo. I happened across that last year when I was researching for my Jawbones (once again hoping in vain that I could get the clear lens in my prescription). Your HMO shop may not stock the frames and lenses you want, but I'd bet that they could order them up for you.

  • Freuler knew how to rock him those stripes. Doesn't look as prisony when you're layin' down some massive V and rollin that kind of Casually Deliberate.

    Freuler could lay down the V, without doubt. But I'm sorry, that kit was fugly, and I don't see how you can deny that he looks like an old-time prisoner escaping from the law in those photos, especially the third and fourth ones.

    @Tobin
    That. Is. Uncanny.
