Always curious how future NBA players made bikes work for them before they could afford a custom bike. I guess they just made do with riding bikes that were far too small.

Looks like a bike from over here at Google.

Add blue, and you have the 4 colors of Benetton in the 1990s. They had by far the best looking F1 pit and driver suits, one large solid color panel for each "corner" (upper right, upper left, lower right, lower left), like Mondrian-inspired Yves Saint Laurent dresses mid-1960s. And their cars:

I would guess, extra-super-long seatpost, possible seat setback, long horizontal and high front stem, and if necessary, also handlebars shaped for knee clearance. Crank arms that are a bit too short are better than a bit too long.

When my daughter was around 4 years old, she loved to watch F1 races with me. Her favorite color was green, so her favorite driver was Michael Schumacher because his car was green down the middle. She was very disappointed when he went to Ferrari because she did not like red.

The artist lived until 1944 so somewhere there may exist a photo of him on a bike.

As a Ferrari fan, I was THRILLED when Schumie put on the red suit! That era for Ferrari was glorious. These days, not so much.

Side note - I was also a big Alessandro Nannini fan. He had some good drives in the Benetton. Not a fan of the team principle.

Back to bikes…

Went through a Mamet phase a long time ago. Decided to revisit The Spanish Prisoner last night and it still holds up, even with Mamet's preferred wooden line readings. Anyway, here's Campbell Scott on a bike. Racing and everything, it seems.

I like them. They give it a feel of philosophical theater. Did you see Edmond? Love the line at the end about having too much coffee.

Yeah, that's a good one. So many quotable lines from him. I use the "Everybody needs money..." line from Heist all the time.
