I never took drugs to improve my performance at any time. I will be willing to stick my finger into a polygraph test if anyone with big media pull wants to take issue. If you buy a signed poster now it will not be tarnished later. --Graeme Obree

Really?

I'm no fan of the look of the BMC itself, but I think that's a really classy paint job! (With the theme I'm guessing the dashed lines are supposed to be tailor's measuring lines?)

Appreciate the idea. Do not find the aesthetic result to be very impressive... but de gustibus I guess.
