f.U.TuR-e{o}F.[R]ac.In(g)

Guero recently acquired a Nitto [...]

All his life this kid has been exposed to cycling as a thread in the fabric of one’s existence and now his personal involvement is taking on an independent life and he’s jack’n out the culture on his own terms.  Henry (my son) designed and illustrated this poster for a new club he’s started at [...]
