Rick, I reckon you should really have a Boonen avatar. I have some sick ones if you want one.

Anyway, this is Super Boo

    It's not really my thing.

    Having said that, I'd be tempted if we get a full picture of you in the latest QS top.
    Y'know, quid pro quo.

    Had to get the full kit Rick. Now looking for the cap and socks ; )

    If I have one somewhere I will.

    Full kit?! No way!. :lol::D

    I wanted the full kit '98 Mercatone Uno - but by the time I got round to buying the shorts they only had XXXL. :(.

    Seriously, swing round SW one day and we can have a bit of a jaunt.

    I'm pretty sure there are probably some seriously sick photos of Boonen out there, probably with a few teenage girls!

    Rick,

    Please change your avatar. Please.

    I don't know why, but the one you have makes me think of those guys on Chewin' the Fat. I subliminally considered you to be Ford or Greg, until we recently discovered that you were 11. I now have difficulty reconciling this fact to your avatar.


    Please. Pretty please.






    You could have one of Cavendish.

    Like the QS kit though, would get it myself but it won't match my new bike. :D

    With Rick's recent Bikeradar promotion his avatar has taken on a new poignancy. It is no longer an image representing his own self. It's an image of what will happen to anyone that pisses ADMIN off.

    You have been warned....

    Hero!

    Haha. Brightened my Thursday morning up. :D

    Drop me a PM when you're heading SW way. We can even collude on what we should wear ;). Take your pick - Mercatone uno '98 or QS 2008.

    I'm confused. I always thought Frenchie was a not real person, either the plaything of 3 or 4 people all logging in at different times or someone in the business or media having fun. If the above photo is of a real live human being who actually is FF then this is like finding out Santa Claus is real.


    P.s. lovely quad flexing.

    I think for proof we need a picture of Frenchie holding a copy of today's Evening Standard or maybe a signed picture of Alberto Contador?

    I thought that! Get him with his muscley legs and low %BF! Certainly looks the part! ;)

    Nice work Frenchie! (not in a homo way I hope you understand...) :)

    Let me get this straight, you would like to see a picture of Frenchfighter holding his baguette?

    Why so shy? Or are you really Boonen which is why Rick is so keen to 'meet up' with you? ;)

    Haha, you guys. Rick saw me in person at the Christmas meet-up. No need to see my face on a forum. Was going to post the one I have on my bike but thought better of it.

    Why? I've posted photos of myself on a bike, why can't we see you in action!

    Is Frenchie also the guy in Rick's avatar?

    Do you buy kit every 10 years? I bet you can't wait until 2018 to get something new!

    I have to confess my first thought was "nice quads". I bet i'm not the only person who thought that, it's a cyclist thing.

    I was doing race training the other day and during the warm I got chatting to a guy riding next to me, we'd been talking for a couple of minutes when I realised that I hadn't actually looked at his face, but I had already sussed out what sort of rider he was and how soon he would get dropped from looking at his legs. Turns out I was right...he got dropped about the same time I did.
