Great pics.

Reggie “Iron Man” McNamara could have done with a bit of nip 'n tuck of those ears for some marginal gains.

I like this one. Eleventy-billion/13 and a look that says ‘ain’t no thang’

that front wheel is filthy! imagine chasing a motorbike around on shitty roads at a pace fast enough to render that gearing necessary…

This photo is so rad. The more you study it and think about it, the better it gets :

Thanks Brendan!

it’s a stayer’s bike (or steher, from the german, stayer). fork is like that to allow them to get closer to the derny.

Great photos, thanks for the link.
