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.

    Hmmmm...I shall experiment forthwith and get back to you. I never ride in the dark. In Los Angeles drivers turn in to mental crazy persons at about 4pm...best to get off the road. I am working nights these next three nights. I don't have my Oakleys with me right now but tomorrow night I shall begin my experiment!!

    I would say that..hmmmm..in fading light or a well lit area you might get away with the Ok photos. Maybe. But not in full on dark. And they would be off my eyes and in the vents well before that if it was me. So i guess I'm saying no. I wouldn't want to risk it.

    Oh, and I thought about this while out riding in the rain today. What saddle is Gilbert riding this year? I know he's ridden the Sella Italia Flite Team in recent years.

    Based on the website link in the most recent article I'd say it's a Fizik Kurve

    After a bit of searching, I was able to track down the non-photoshopped version of your infamous Cipo photo.
    Though he's Rule 33 compliant, He is sporting a fairly impressive set of wookie shorts.

  • I'm resurrecting this thread because there seemed to be a lot of questions and interest regarding optical solutions/alternatives for cyclists. I was in exile during this time so I couldn't respond...

    In any case, I will be at the 37th Annual Rhode Island Bike Show on Saturday from 9 to 2 answering people's questions about just those things. If you are in the area, stop by, met me in person, and see why I am so awesome. Bring me your prescription so I can better help you, as well!
