Who thinks that this is a Campy crank?

Naw, looks like a ISERE ORCKOPEDiE to me!
Kick Ass! Clipless and all!

no fair - they made his prosthetic aerodynamic!

and the cranks look like stronglight :p

It's been a while since I've looked at mine, but I don't think the back face of the drive-side crank looks like Campy.

One more "Nay" vote.

That guy could smoke me with only one leg.

I love how a guy with a carbon fiber aero prosthetic leg could fly past us on the street, and the first thing we'd all think is, "What brand of crank is that?"

A few years ago at burning man a buddy of mine was hanging around when a beautiful woman, completely naked, comes riding right past on a bike. His wife says, "WOW, look at that!" and he says, "I KNOW! You don't usually see '32 Schwinns in that good of shape!"

He still gets crap for it.

peace,
sam

*grumble grumble*

....hippies....

I have been married long enough to have the automatic response 'At what dear?' while enjoying the view.

Yeah, I've learned the trick of saying, while directing attention to the hottie, "Hey, honey can you believe that she came out of the house looking like that. Geez. What was she thinking wearing jeans so tight. Heck, I can count the change in her pocket from here. That's gotta be bad for her circulation."

Sick setup above, by the way.

wicked colour coordination too... yet accessory to match!

Jonny B 07-21-05 11:16 AM

I wonder how much power he can put through that prosthesis (relative to his good leg).

SpiderMike 07-21-05 12:22 PM

Hey Kogswell, do you know who that is? Obvious that its not Dory Selinger, wrong leg. http://www.doryselinger.com/
Buddy sent me that link when I was telling him how I been looking for a fixie.

i would guess nearly the same amount, but probably a little less, because he can't use his calf muscle

I've seen a guy w/ a prosthesis do a CX race, B's I think. He's the man!

I asked around and no one knows. I'll keep digging.
