They should send you some grips for using the pic. Oh yeah...and some mudflaps. Just saying.

Yes, that be the one. As to how it happened, I have no idea. It's up on Velospace, so I suppose they have a marketing intern trolling the sites in his/her spare time and found it. Very flattering! I hope they sponsor me to the tune of a pair of B66 or B73s and a set of Brick Lane roll-up panniers. *Hope hope*

Yeah, this seems pretty strange. I wouldn't be a dick about it, but you should send them an email saying, "Hey, I'm glad you think my bicycle is nice enough to represent your product, but you could have let me know you were going to use it! Also, free-stuff please."

I hope all of this "sue them" **** is sarcasm. It would have been polite for them to contact you, but honestly I'd feel pretty good if a bike company thought my bike was good enough to represent their company.
