That shifter is amazing.
Pubes shirt?
Holy shit, that’s old.
How to be plagued by wedgies, judging by that seat angle.

I thought, I was confused by “mushroom grips”, but his crotch being labeled “Special Purpose” definitely beats it…
…it went drip drip drip
In the movie The Jerk, Steve Martin’s character writes a letter to his mother saying he learned what his “special purpose” was for after having sex for the first time. Presumably, that was the way she explained his penis to him. This must be a reference to that.
Lmao, I thought it was pointing at the seat, but no, it goes right past it lolol
Pretty sure it’s indicating the padded crossbar.
Nah, obviously it is pointing towards his genitals, there is no other way
I stand corrected.
Finally, some proper representation.
Well this is mildly epic
This looks like the late 80s (or maybe early 90s) and what looks like a freestyle BMX bike with the caption “how to be awesome” - but no mention of Haro or Diamondback? I call bullshit.
Don’t BMX bikes typically not have gears?
No gears, brakes in the middle of the rear triangle, low, sloped back seat and taller handlebars.
Where i live they didn’t have gears, yet they had a gear shifter, just for the cool factor, I guess
Hell if I know. Were bikes with gears considered how to be awesome in the 80s or 90s?
Special Purpose is almost as rad as Mushroom grips.
If only a person’s belongings were a true representation of their character.
what would 10 speed mean here? 2x5?
Yep, 2x5 seems right. 3x3.33333… would be difficult to implement and 1x10 wasn’t a thing back then at least with derailleur
Man, they’re not kidding! That bike is awesome.
I love when vintage finds are still relevant today.
I wonder who here is old enough to get the reference…
A bike with a stick shifter?
/edit; huh, til
