Thanks!
Unfortunately I had to sell before coming to California. I wish I had the chance to do it up properly (I was running Record cranks and Dura Ace hubs - gasp!) but time and money were not on my side. I hope to buy another fixie soon!

I don't have quite the physique, or a time trial bike, or Zipps, or even a nice background--I don't even have someone to take the picture for me--but here's my copycat image...

Nudie pics!

I'm not sure I like this new trend. Where are the women?

More male nudity was uncalled for.

More male nudity was uncalled for.

I would like to second this...... now females on the other hand... FEEL FREEEEEE.. :p:D:D:D

Not stinky, with tool of my trade.

Medium stinky. I'm holding a CD. It's a private joke and I'm too lazy to take another photo. The DeRosa is now retired, replaced by a Dean Ti.

Stinky Bonus: my new companion. Sorry about more male nudity. Full frontal, no less.

How you doin? ;) Nice pics. :D

:beer: thank you, Jason. Now, let's see if any of our other fine So Cal men have the...um...nerve to follow suit in their BD suits. :p

You first. :D

Hey nielg - Sessions? Orchestra? Bluegrass? Nice bass!

You first. :D

I said men, Drew. MEN. You guys posing like that is tasteful. If I did it, my IBTs, although itty bitty, would get this thread shut down. But Jason's pic doesn't expose anything. So, quit your stalling...:p

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v335/spielbass/IM000447-1.jpg

I loved you in A Mighty Wind. :D

Hey nielg - Nice bass!
That it is...:D

Hey nielg - Sessions? Orchestra? Bluegrass? Nice bass!
I'm a classical nerd, but that includes sessions and anything where the music is actually written out.

Ain't nothing nerdy about classical.

Ah, to someday have time to become sheet music-fluent. I stumble along and flail about.

/Electric bassist...but have always wanted a 4/4 double...even though, at 5'10", I'd have to reach pretty high to tune the dang thing.

The wife has been getting into large format photography. (I have zero tech-mo-logikal skilz, so I rely completely on her to take pictures.) She practiced on me and "the project bike", which is finally complete. At this point, my level of stink is neutral. My level of dork is uber-high. (Hey, the pic looks dark since I messed with it. Oh well. It started as a 4x5 negative....)

Here I was likely a tad stinkier, as it was early morning on a train in New Zealand and I had already cracked open a beer....

http://www.thebluesmokeband.com/images/bri.nz.train.jpg

Total stink-o-rama, as we posed with our friend John in San Luis Obispo. That's Tanya on the left (the wife with mad photografik skilz!), me in the middle, and my Brooks saddle in the foreground:

And my riding buddy Virgil (onthevirg) can be seen here finishing up a tire fix, with my Fuji Touring bike holding up a tree -- because it's probably heavier than the tree! Virgil would certainly agree that he was pretty stinky at this point:

Ok this is a fun thread... guess I'll participate.

OK, I started out as a small dirty child. I've always like playing in dirt!

From small dirty child to old woman - last year on my 55th birthday.

Back to being dirty (note: I am never stinky. I do not stink!). Riding in Limestone Canyon:

My favorite rides... first the Mtb bike... new and clean. It hasn't looked that way since!

and the roadie - on my Montana trip taking a breather. Riding with my new custom CK wheels:

Pam, STOP saying you're old! Those are great photos of you and it's nice to see what you look like! :)
Brian, thanks for your photos as well. I like this thread, and no it wasn't my idea, it was Bernmart's. :D

Nice photos, Pam. :)

ok dude that was sick, whats with these nude pics lol.

Bump...

I see some posts lately from folks not in here. Hint, hint... :D

I pretty much lurk BF so I thought I should share a pic or two and come out of the shadows:o

Ok, so here I am with my daughter near T2 at this year's Tinman Tri.

Arggh, my stinky pic and pic of my ride are not in photobucket.....ok, to be continued.



-Erik

Great pics, Erik :beer: Your daughter is adorable. I hope to meet you on a ride in the future. :)

Thanks ME:), I'm going to try and make it to the BF Baldy ride on Sunday although I may just do GMR and call it a day. I'll keep my eyes open for BF jerseys.

Well, I'm starting really early to try and make it to the lifts, so I may miss meeting you if you turn around at GMR. Regardless, I'm sure other BFers will be there making you feel welcome! :)

Wow, take a few months off and miss all the fun threads. OK, these aren't my best pics, but I'm at work and they're all I've got.

Nice to see what you look like, Tim! :) Nice pics. Do you perform many wedding ceremonies?

I've done five so far. In a couple of years. I did the whole internet ordination thing on a lark, but then I was like, "hell, why not do something with it?" It's fun, and it gives me warm fuzzies to be a part of something so special for the bride and groom.

The wedding pictured above was this last June, and took place in Lake Arrowhead; you can't tell in that picture, but the lake is right behind me.

Universal Life Church?? I was ordained through the interweb too:) Those are great pics, I'm digging the fixie.

You're a minister, too, Erik? Wow, we not only have good cyclists in this community, but we'll never lack for a minister. :D

That's hot!

Universal Life Church?? I was ordained through the interweb too:) Those are great pics, I'm digging the fixie.

I was ordained, got my Ministry in the Box, a sainthood certificate, an honorary doctorate of divinity degree... I went for the full nine. :)

That's hot!

*grin*

Thanks!

Wow Tim, you went all out! I've yet to perform a wedding, the one I was supposed to do....well, there was a change of plans:rolleyes:

BUMP


Lots of new folks checking in...perhaps you'd like to share a little here?? :D

That's hot!

That's an understatement.

I'm resurrecting this thread as there is huge influx of new peeps on here, which is nice. Will you new folks please provide us a pic of yourself and/or your bike - or both, preferably!

:)

I'm Chris F. from San Diego, pretty new to serious riding.

I don't have a stinky pic yet....but here is a non stinky of me and my daughter
