I have a problem with the establishment, authority, the norm, the mainstream, McMansions, etc., but mostly I have a problem with status quo running free. Instinct has me refuse subscription, and take a pass on common memberships until the data are analyzed, but here I am, speaking to a niche. Aren't my ways contradictory? Not really, but also yes, but also who cares: the point was just to draft a semi-concise setup for explaining why … [Read more...]

Retrospective Heaviness: Hampsten ’85

Embrocate your mind, and your legs will follow.
The Superissimo has been painted as a lighthouse in this elite community of sexybiking. We shine light upon the rocky, often unstylish shores of our sporte, and we are proud of that.
