Anatomy of a Photo: Thor Personifies The V

What more do you need to know that this picture doesn’t already say?

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.

    @MarcusWow, just when I think you can't screw up any more than you already have, you go ahead and do something like this...AND TOTALLY REDEEM YOURSELF.
    The only problem with that rebuild - which rules, btw - is that it doesnt have the right bars. Merckx rode super deep drop bars. Probably hard to find these days.
    I love that site. Blown way too many hours of m lIfe over there.

    What re-build?

    At the Sydney Olympic's, the majority of the road race was free, apart from the finish line of course, which had reserved seating from memory (though I may be wrong on the last bit?). Almost impossible to police when the event is on the open road plus they promoted it as one of many "free" events that could be viewed by everyone. Unlike the Beijing Olympic's where they were even turning away rider's family members from certain vantage points along the route.
    I was living on the course at the time so was able to view everything for free anyway!

    I think @Jeff in PetroMetro is using imaginary numbers in his arithmetic. You know, like eleventeen and thirty-twelve.
