My friend's brother took that pic in his back yard. Weird thing is, it's hosted on a German site.

Yeah, we've been back and forth about the provenance. I have a pic of my buddy standing with the bike and an arm full of parts in front of the store he bought it at in Miami in March of 06. I'd rather not post it. He was undergoing chemo, and it's not his best look.
