Anatomy of a Photo: Roulin’ Dirty

After a long, hard day of dishing out pain to the peloton it’s time to chillax with der Homies. Here we have der Kaiser and Klodenizzle pimpin’ in the T-Mobile bus. Roulin’ dirty fo’ sho’.

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.

What's the guy with the clipboard on the far right doing? Is that a Geiger counter - or assuming they're in Germany - a Geiger-MÃ¼ller Counter in his paw, scanning for Awesomeness radiating from the bus?

LMAO frank, now that is funny

we need that as a rule, the measure of awesomeness from one implementing Rule #5 w/style, in this case it was eminating from the microbus, pink microbus, pink microbus w/silver wolf'rs in the back w/LED lighting and a loveseat.

Frank does deserve full cred for finding that pic. And in keeping with the spirit of the era, I present to you this:

Not too hard to find images of Cipo pimpin. In fact, I'd say every photo of Cipo is pimp.

@Cyclops
Damn you're quick with this stuff. And how cool is it you sort of have my bike in there?

@Marko

I actually did that a long time ago. I just figured this would be the perfect time for it.

BMC's are really high on my want list. I would like either a Cervelo R3 or a BMC Team Machine or a Pinarello Dogma or a Colnago.

@frank
Sorry to disappoint, but I did say "bling" era. Kind of like the '80s coke thing.

Re. Adidas: yes, I understand the German/T-Mobile/Adidas connection, and I'm fluent in Rule 69, but we might add an addendum that cycling kit is for riding not lounging...

@Cyclops
I dunno man, I've seen those pics of your cannonwhale and it's a sweet looking ride. Your observance of Rule 12 is to be commended.
