Teenslains is 'mr no brakes'

eh, what?

I like to think I extracted this particular gem for wider public enjoyment

I posted it in another thread, but it deserved its own for sure.

oh my, i haven't laughed that hard in a long time...

wow look at those ears

likin' the old school picture though.

The other bike in the article, the white one, is Keiran lynch's bike. For someone touring at 5'2", he is also one of the few people that I have watched riding brakeless with a cup of coffee and not wanted to beat about the head and neck. He is a very skilled rider and has been doing it a very long time. Dumb dumb article.

sorry to go back to kingmaker, but they really were shit.

Why doesn't his photo work now? Has he been potato chopped already?

I've just remembered the first live gig I ever went to was Troublefunk @ Hammersmith Apollo.
iD mag had assured me go-go was definitely going to be as big as rare groove so I got my black MA-1 on and stepped.
Ahh to be a pretentious 15 year-old again.
