Who's this clown?? :rolleyes: July 4, 1988. 27 years old. Yeah, climbing then was not a problem.
I tried hard to grow some real legs. Never happened.

Oui !!
Well, the green points is a stretch because (big surprise) I couldn't sprint worth crap. But the yellow and polka dot? Yeah .... I could hold my own. :D

I'd post some pics of my own back then, but the only difference is less gray in the beard :o
Never put on any weight either, so I feel your pain with the leg thing too.
I remember that jersey! I had a La Vie Claire Jersey -- back when LeMond was "normal" -- wish I still had it!
Is that a finger in the second photo? :lol:

No finger. I'm showing that I'm cool by having a loose, relaxed grip on the bars. :D
I may still have that jersey, but it's very worn and there's no way it would fit! :cry:
So, I'm gonna hang a copy of each photo right in front of my trainer and stare at them all winter. Yeah!!
