  1. There is a picture of Lance circulating where he is naked on a bike
    for some kind of advert. However only the picture is circulating and
    no story about when, why or for what product. Can anyone shed any
    light on this? Or is it a celeb bluff photoshopped picture?

    Here is a link to it which was repasted to a Swedish blogg..

    I first posted to this Usenet group in the autumn of 97 and can now

    That's another cookie-cutter Annie Leibovitz "portrait." When she's not
    plagiarizing Lewis Hines, she's trying to make celebrities look deeper
    than a kiddie pool using all sorts of contrived poses.

    Most glue-sniffers in here who saw that photo checked ebay every day to
    see if they could bid on the saddle in that photo.

    Well, the picture isn't as elegant or definitive of a great physical
    specimen the way the on of Eric Heiden skating (seen from the right
    the right leg was forward). This picture was a poster in many public
    places, here and abroad. Lance is practically in the dark ad hunched
    over so his body is hard to assess.

    I'm sure Carl can find that shot on the web for us.

    My first bicycle was an AMF from a hardware store. Hardly a great

    This isn't bad. Our silverbacked friend tries to deflect the discussion

    error, and then makes an assertion about first names that might surprise
    bell hooks.

    But it feels a little phoned in. I think the volume of posts these days
    is wearing our hirsute friend down. Quality, Magilla, not quantity.

    Hm. This fascinatingly says that she shot some playful homages to Hine,
    but doesn't mention the Armstrong shot.

    I'm pretty sure you have no idea what you're talking about, and probably

    Verdict: Magilla doesn't know what he's talking about. He grabbed a few
    half-remembered critiques of Leibowitz using a search engine, and failed
    to even deploy them successfully in his argument. Sentence: 78 months in
    supervillain prison, and six months without mentioning velodromes.

    I've been known to go to the indoor range and ask the person in the lane

    They never see the Casull come out of the Pelican until the sound of 285

    Dickweed,

    Even douchebag "dave" who you're blindly defending knows I went caveman
    on his ass and he came out looking like a Martha Moxley doll.

    Re-read the thread. "dave" said Leibobitch would never be accused of
    plagiarizing Hine's style in ANY photo ("Avedon maybe, but Hine, no
    way," to quote Martha doll). I pasted the link that shows Leibobitch
    has already been accused of in fact plagiarizing Hine (and not Avedon).

    Doesn't get any easier on my end.

    I suggest you go to your local library and tell the lady with glasses

    That's more than you can say for Harley Davidson when AMF owned them.

    OTOH, Phinney was sponsored by AMF in his pre 7-Eleven days and they were

    dumbass,

    you tried to pull a kunich and got pantsed.

    for what it's worth - we had feynman lectures as a 2nd yr text book,
    it's a lousy book to learn physics from.

    the choice of that bongo picture was genius though, it made him look
    like dean martin or something.

    I'm pretty sure you have no idea what you're talking about, and
    probably only skimmed that article and hoped nobody would notice it
    wouldn't back up your half-baked claims. But hey, you can't google
    them all.

    Dickweed,

    Even douchebag "dave" who you're blindly defending knows I went
    caveman on his ass and he came out looking like a Martha Moxley doll.

    Re-read the thread. "dave" said Leibobitch would never be accused of
    plagiarizing Hine's style in ANY photo ("Avedon maybe, but Hine, no
    way," to quote Martha doll). I pasted the link that shows Leibobitch
    has already been accused of in fact plagiarizing Hine (and not Avedon).

    Doesn't get any easier on my end.

    I suggest you go to your local library and tell the lady with glasses
    behind the desk that you want to learn how to read.

    Monkeybreath,

    Let me just say that Popular Photography is to fine art photography as
    Popular Mechanics is to the Feynman Lectures. I'm sure this is of no
    interest to you, however.

    - dave

    Then I suggest you Google the NY Times articles (plural) that state the
    same thing as the Pop Photography rag.

    I'm here to help you, dave.

    December is FREE tutoring. After that, I charge the same as a Chris
    Carmichael coach.

    This isn't bad. Our silverbacked friend tries to deflect the discussion
    to his least disastrous (though perhaps, ironically, most telling)
    error, and then makes an assertion about first names that might surprise
    bell hooks.

    But it feels a little phoned in. I think the volume of posts these days
    is wearing our hirsute friend down. Quality, Magilla, not quantity.

    Hm. This fascinatingly says that she shot some playful homages to Hine,
    but doesn't mention the Armstrong shot.

    (NSFW, unless the phrase "sodomized Vince Neil" is okay in your
    workplace).
    ...
    Verdict: Magilla doesn't know what he's talking about. He grabbed a few
    half-remembered critiques of Leibowitz using a search engine, and failed
    to even deploy them successfully in his argument. Sentence: 78 months in
    supervillain prison, and six months without mentioning velodromes.

    I sense that you have a general feeling of dissappointment with our
    friend. I cannot share your displeasure or assuage your pain. My
    only complaint -- for now -- is that I have not seen enough "Little
    House on the Prairie" references worked in. That is really about
    it.

    My first bicycle was an AMF from a hardware store. Hardly a great
    bicycle, but actually functional and reliable.

    That's more than you can say for Harley Davidson when AMF owned them.

    OTOH, Phinney was sponsored by AMF in his pre 7-Eleven days and they
    were sponsors of the Little 500.

    Around here, Harley-Davidson is a religion and AMF is NOT mentioned in
    polite company.

    Lewis Hine (note correct spelling)? Avedon maybe, but Hine, no way.
    You don't know [censored] about cycling and you know less about photography.

    Gilla is like TV, newspapers, and the movies. If you know
    anything about the subject you see what frauds they are.

    Or maybe they are just being gratuitously provocative?
