A lifelong Velominatus, the history and culture within cycling fascinates Frank (pronounced in Dutch and Flemish as “Fränk”) and, if given even the vaguest of excuses, will discuss it ad nausium. A devoted cycling aesthete, the only thing more important to him than riding a bike well is looking good doing it. Question? Email me.

@the Engine Either you’ve gotten really good at photoshop or you’ve lost some weight. Probably caused by the acquisition of the book - spontaneous dropping of one stone was part of the design concept. »
