It's my bike. It's a not so subtle homage to being silly on bikes and going way over the top with a theme both of the bike and the kits I wear when I ride it. I also laugh to myself about just how much of the red/white/blue on the bike comes from Hope components.
Fair, Fair. It does look like a blast to ride. I'm just jealous that I don't have a Ritchey myself (Specialized Rockhopper with Ritchey dropouts aside).
'ere.
Ah, perhaps it's subtle homage to the inherent craziness of our American cousins? Maybe...?
