That was one here about a year ago.
Notice that the chain is on the wrong side. And is that the worlds smallest saddle?

Also, he appears to be holding onto the stem or headset, rather than the more customary grip spots.

the rear tire also looks like about a 38 width... WAAAAY to thick. The drivetrain being on the wrong side has to be the funniest part of the fake.
Someone needs to redo this, and put an umbrella in his hands and a pothole in front of the bike...

Get to know and use Photoshop well and you won't believe anything you see on the web anymore.

Ok I get that its fake, but why is the chain on the wrong side. Are bikes made like that, I wouldn't think the artist drew the whole bike.

There's a guy in Iowa City who rides a fixed gear with the drivetrain on the left. Maybe he's English.
Oh yeah, if all you cycling guys want to know how hot bikers do their hair, you should go to Biker Fox's site.

You wouldn';t use the clone tool for the window, you would resize the original image and paste it in, then adjust opacity, and levels to make it appear like a reflection.
The biggest problem with this image, besides the drive train and seat. Is the fact that the bike rider is obviously sampled from a different resolution image. Oh and whoever cut the rider out left alot of fuzz around the edges.

Clearly faked.... The real question is "why?"
(Meanwhile note - rear wheel not spinning, cars reflected in windows aren't in the picture, outlining of bike (lots of detail/difficult to do) is clumsy, etc.)
I ask again - "why?"
