Seems that we’ve caused something of a stir in the cycling community. Westword, the Denver-based publication and venerable soapbox for all things interesting, has an article in the next print about Danno and his verbal, velo blunders. The article is, in a word, mothergrabbin’ hilarious. Okay that’s two words. The photo at right was borrowed (or stolen, depending on how much of a tight ass you are) from the feature. But you can tell I didn’t shoot this pic for a number of reasons:
1. Vladimir Lenin is dead.
2. I usually avoid Bolshevik revolutionists when choosing shirt models. They tend to be over-bearing, prissy prima donnas.
3. I will never make a v-neck t-shirt (at least not for a man). If you choose to look like Michael Jackson, look elsewhere, buddy.
But I highly suggest checking out the article. I pee’d my pants, twice, while reading it.

This is a limited edition design. When they’re gone, they’re gone.

The picture is of Vladimir Lenin (vice Stalin). I can not speak to whether Lenin ever actually wore on of your shirts, however. Seems doubtful.
