I drove by that tree for 19 years and never took a single frame of it,” photographer Mark Hirsch told NBC News. The tree, a massive oak, is on his way home, along a country road in southwest Wisconsin.

Hey, I had an Hansom exactly like that. 8 speed Dura Ace, Wolber wheels, Brookes saddle, Biopace Chainring. Pity it was a size or two too big.

does anyone know where you can still get these pumps from ?

I broke my last one a few years back. started using bombs but they became rather expensive considering I was getting a puncture on every single training ride.

I then got one of the newer double action pumps, but I hate the short stroke and dont think I can pump the tube as hard as with the longer pump.

Would love to get another one for training rides.

Did 2 IronMan races on this 'bad boy' in the early 90's. This picture was taken a while ago when I 'resurrected' it for Maffews to use as transport to work!

and all those memories just come flooding back. all you wanted was the pump that had the valve already attached and not that tube extra screw on thingy.

Do you know who holds the highest position in the world?

President Barack Obama? Nope.

Pope Benedict? Nope.

 

 

Babu Sassi, a fearless young man from southern India,

is the cult hero of Dubai 's army of construction workers.

Known as the "Indian on top of the world",

Babu is the crane operator at the world's tallest building, the 819-meter Burj Dubai.

His office, the cramped crane cab perched on top of the Burj, is also his home.

It takes too long to come down to the ground each day to make it worthwhile -

although, when the building is completed, its elevators will be the world's fastest.

Stories about his daily brush with death are discussed in revered terms by Dubai 's workers.

Some say he has been up there for more than a year,

others whisper that he's paid 30,000 dirhams ($8,168) a month

compared with the average wage of 800 dirhams a month.

But everyone agrees, he's worth it -

because nobody else would have the courage to do the job!
