Post photos of yourself in your most Fred-ilicious moments. I'll go first:

I'm on the right - note the attempt to color-coordinate mismatched bibs and Nashbar jersey and the hairy legs. Plus for some reason I look like a total butterball.

thats ok, your friend matched his stach to his handlebar.

I think my yellow fanny/waste pack speaks for itself, not to mention the half shorts, visor, red anodized hubs and headset and most importantly the faux \'BIKE\" magazine cover that Dave Chomowicz superimposed onto the whole thing.

Whoop...that should read "waist pack" not "waste pack.' (Different story if it were a colostomy bag of course.)

Last thing: This was from some time mid-to-late 1990's so don't be too cruel....

lol

William - no trolling! I know you have some gems stored away.

@John: Nice shoes.

Triathlon days.

White family living room - Christmas morning 1983 - Genesis of a proto-Fred

^too good!

my most repulsive fred-ish bicycle photos are all tapped to the fridge at home - i would have to scan them

not sure you guys want that

Ryan and Jeff - those are awesome photos. Possibly too badass, in both cases, to qualify as Fred photos but still awesome.

Like WDC I have one taped to my fridge from 1990s, where I am in a Super U jersey, Shorts (not bibs) with red blocks on the side, and a pair of Oakley sunglasses in neon green that are swallowing my face.

I cannot let that image make the rounds of the interwebs, but I am sure you all can picture it in your mind's eye.

Fred, his gut, hairy legs and fred apprentice ready to attack unsuspecting trailer-pullers in Prospect Park

That is one happy kid (in the back), awesome pic!

Awesome, David! That's what I'm talkin about!

Proof that Fredosity and being a super-Dad go hand in hand.

from this

me circa 2006

1976 at the start of our cross-country adventure

dstokes: Awesome photo! You inspired me to find my cross country photos, heres me riding the waves on my bike.

best. thread. ever.

@David: Sweet cut-offs!

@Joe: Sweet Bridgestone, but what is the deal with those handlebars? Did you put them in a bench vice?

Jeff: funny story those bars are actually off of my racing bike. Sacrilegious I would say, but she made it the whole way across.

@ MAttie - Kissena gave you more tattoos?
Fierce...

young david stokes looks exactly like current david vollbach

No self-deprecating Fred photos I can find, but Nyack Tuesday I came across a Fred train...

I think I have one of me that can out-do RJ's triathlon days pic but I will hold off on that.

Mike

Is that a power crank I spy on your rig?

Damn you did the climb hard core! Next we'll learn tha your tires filled with lead pellets and brakes rubbing for the whole climb.

Patrick

@Perlberg: Awesome. I remember you being all about the PowerCrank in the old days as 5's. You still got 'em?

@Stokes: I meant to ask you -- what kind of bike is in that pic? Can't really see it.
