The bugger is going to be finding shoes that fit your knees .... but otherwise it sounds like a fair trade to me. Lower limbs for Italian carbon LOL

Viskop - dont know how CP did it, but do know that when the cycling mags take pictures of a similar nature, they have an assistant hold the bike in the upright position, step just out of frame, thus letting go - have photo taken in the second or two that it stands unassisted, and then the dude steps back in and catches it before it falls...

 

With the technology on the new cameras, in those 1/2 secs, they've taken 20 photos...

 

Kinda simple huh?

Christie, that's one Schweeeet frame. Don't know who follows Da Vinci, but there's a couple of his important inventions on there, while the text probably originates from the Leicester Codex (now owned by Bill Gates, most expensive book ever bought - USD 30 M).

 

The first drawing is of a ancient catapult - Leonardo had an infactuation with war machines and dreamt of inventing the ultimate war machine for Italy 

 

The self portraits were normally done in red ink. Maybe the collage will have been more complete with the Vetruvian Man and a drawing of a horse on - also something he was fascinated with.

 

That's bike is a collectors items - don't think one should ride it
