Anatomy of a Photo: Things That Are Hard To Come By

Museeuw rockin’ the bands riding with Cipo decked out in yellow as he twists one up. There are only two things cooler than this and both of them are impossible to get. One is Led Zeppelin playing at your shitty graduation party in the late 70’s and the other is one of those awesome Coca Cola bidons. Fuck yeah!

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.

@Chris

Still can't get over the fact that you've posted a picture of a game of soccer.

Ahhh, track'in now. Pretty good expression that actually makes physiologic sense if you have an underlying eye alingment disorder. I will have to remember to share that with my residents tomorrow and maybe even test the theory out tonight!

Test the cross-eyeness, not the drunk driving that is! And The Prophet did not play soccer, he played football.

I don't know what soccer is, but football is a cool sport. Great shot of The Prophet showing his versatility. Interesting point is that his son Axl was also an elite footballer; he was trying hard to decide between a career in Cycling vs. le Foot. He chose wisely, of course, but nevertheless football is a cool sport.

Inferior, but cool.

Super Marios butt I can stand, in fact, it makes me a little envious. The shit-stained butts of those blokes, on the other hand, are tough to endure.

Its a game of over/under between how many new pics get posted up to bury it and when I edit that comment to hide the photo in a link.

Go ahead and edit it. It was a bit much for me to even copy /paste the link. The rest of the photo montage over @ CT is worth a view, however.

I think they are just vintage motorcycle goggles. I think you'll find that they suck completely for cycling, but knock yourself out. You can also ask Alex from PavÃ© Cycling Classics about them; he rode a vintage 1920's fixie over the Strade Bianchi wearing period gear.

I was compensating for the American Velominati. On a side note Plant's beloved Wolverhampton Wanderers (the shirt he's pictured in) were relegated yesterday.
