I was going through my pictures from our San Francisco trip and came across this one that I took at the wax museum:

Shorts?! As a purist, they better get some bibs on our main man. And how about a bit of sun.

Seems a bit jaundiced, too. Maybe they were making reference to his cancer survival with the pale/yellow skin, emaciated figure and deep eye bags?

And is that Barry Bonds next to him? If so, interesting arrangement.

I think he's been anatomically corrected.

Seriously, LA is no longer a bike rider, he's a celebrity on "entertainment tonight". Let's move on...

Needs bibs, shorts go too low (needs to be 5-6 inches above knee)

What are you talkin' about, man, Merckx is all Trimspa'd out now. Guy looks better than Laurent Fignon.

Also needs a long sleeve jersey. No one is presented a short sleeve jersey in any of the competitions at the tour when they go to the podium after each stage.

Is it me or are his hands like 5 shades darker than his arms. Weird :eek:

His glove tan is the wrong way. Darker on the arms and lighter on the hands.

Someone already caught the jersey (short sleeve) and bibs.

And also, if you want to be picky about it, it does not look like that wax figure has had one testicle removed.

It is sad I am aware of these things.

Doesn't lance have a replacement for the lost one? How can you tell anyway...?

I had mine replaced and it looks no different than the one they took out.

The sclpture does look funny!

Geeze he looks like a dang stretch arm strong that hasnt pulled back in yet. Freaky looking really. Kinda like an Orangatange or however you spell it. And he looks like he's been on a really bad trip for several days without any sleep.

I'm sure it looks better in person.

I mean geez, it's WAX. It's not a clone.

Guy looks better than Laurent Fignon.

Fignon hasn't looked good since he took that pony tailed spill off the
bike when he lost to Lemond. . . and even then . . .

I met an 84 year-old rider this past weekend who looks better than Fignon. :p

Good to hear Merckx has regained self-respect.
