I seem to disturbingly remember a picture of him naked on his trainer too....

no jokes, but those look like some really awesome and high quality tattoos he is rocking

 

looked again, maybe well executed, but ok otherwise.

Written by this guy .... and oh the irony in his bio given this threads content.

Twice 'ridden'.... Lasted a couple of days on his 1st attempt and the 2nd attempt yielded this gem;

That article must have earned him the award ... any man brave enough to moan about his wife like that on a national bicycle platform can only be brave ........

His description of Sako sounded like it came straight out of a Mills and Boon novel....

Faaarking hilarious interview!   What an overly-earnest chop, easily the most navel gazing case of self-absorption. 

Thanks for the laughs.

I dunno, but I now dislike some dude that I've never met ????‍♂️

Seriously though.... who is this Sean guy? And why is anyone giving him any attention? I'm not on any of social media platforms, so it completely boggles my mind how some characters have gained some kind of notoriety. 

But if he blocked Mr Wakefield, he must be a grade A chop.

Average at best and looks like there is zero thought into all the work done

Yes yes yes the conclusion is that its not justified as no justification for self absorption is necessary. Just enjoy and complain about your partner after for bikehub entertainment and all's well with the world

No bru....only Lockheed knows how to execute a black project properly and call it black, and sako7 of course because you know the inspiration came from like a picture you know

I find it odd that one can paint oneself in cycling brands....I mean what if Shimano gets bought by SRAM and is rebranded Shermaner?

What happens when Mike starts another bike company called imaginatively, Chapter 3? Su·27 is already replaced by Su·35 and 57....

It kind of.devolves into a mess pretty quickly

When people jump to different brands all the time to me, shows someone’s loyalty. 
 

Tattoos and artwork for me is a personal thing and not a way for a free head unit.

Tat of a brand strikes me as a lack of imagination. 

Skin is the boundary between self and world and that makes one of the things tats are a statement of identity. Defining oneself in terms of a brand? 

Hmmm
