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.

Tell me they aren't really wearing Bell Helmets?

That Lapierre is a seriously nice bike, by the way. Quite possibly my top choice of bike (top three, anyway) in the Pro Tour.

FDJ gives a whole new meaning to "casually deliberate."

YO: You get in front of him and tell him how many watts you can put down and I'll sneak up and steal his mini pump...

Speaking of pimps - I got my new Jawbones today and what with the matching S-Works and Podium shoes... Well, I may not go too fast but I look marvelous doing it.

You are the pimp daddy!! Hope your shoes see a lot of podiums this season!

@Cyclops
Honest question: are those Spech shoes comfy? 'cause they really don't do it for me aesthetically. Just too busy or something I can't put my finger on.
The Jawbones on the other hand are stylin'.

@scaler911

The only reason that I wear them is that they are comfy. I've never been a big fan of Specialized as a company - that's why I bought a LOOK instead of the S-Works Tarmac SL3 that the LBS was trying to push on me - but I always end up in their shoes. I've owned like five or six pair of their Body Geometry shoes because every time I try something else I have some sort of issues with them. Having said that I think the look pretty cool though. But there's no accounting for taste, right?

@Cyclops
Beautiful piece of matching...possibly only made better if you'd been able to get the O's on the arms in that metallic orange they offer. I know we can't see them but I'm assuming since you didn't mention it, that it didn't happen.

An lbs here in Adelaide currently has an FDJ Lapierre sitting side by side with a Mondrian Look, there's a good thing there's a window between them & me each time I walk past otherwise they'd be a little dirty by now!
