This is the view from my desk. The ones on the floor will end up behind my desk when I get around the putting them up on the wall. Thematically, the Lombardi poster shoudl go where LeMond/Hinault is, but LeMond/Hinault is my favorite (as it is the phographer's) and I want that one directly in front of me when I'm not staring at papers, the computer screen, the window or whatever bike I have in the office.

I wonder if that Hampsten fellow is related to Steve Hampsten :D

John, I see that bottle of Duvel. If you like SPAs you absolutely have to try "La Fin du Monde." Expensive, but worth every penny.

Mon Amie Louis, I have sucked down more La Fin Du Monde (end of the world) and Maudite and the other Satanic stuff they make than I would care to admit! C'est tres bien!!! Have you tried Diabolique? :beer:

You should probably just atone for it by sharing beer with everyone :beer: We actually do have beer in the fridge at work and have talked about stocking desks with liquor. The boss nixed :no: the idea of an official liquor cabinet through :crap:

I also have the LeMond/Hinault hanging in my office. Great picture. I was able to get it autographed by the photographer, as well as LeMond and Hinault.

Nice pictures. I like the Giro di Lombardia pic as well as the Tour de Romandie one. Lombardia has some of the nicest riding there is.

Here is my office. Unfortunately, we don't get bike racing coverage on our TVs.

Negative. The seats are really disgusting actually. Comfortable, but disgusting. They should be vacuumed.

My bikes sport Turbomatics and Flite seats. These are the view of my other office chairs. :banana:

Andy Hampsten poster since I had a ride last winter in a snow squall that left my red jacket covered. I will admit the road conditions in my ride were better than Andy's. That was one of the best rides.

Check "Youtube" and use the word Gavia for your search. There is video footage of that legendary day in Andy Hampsten's office.

My new office...I also don't get the coverage on these screens but...

I at least can go see the Tour start in London this year on my overnight, see some of the Espana in Madrid or Barcelona, better yet Giro in Milan/Lake Como, Suisse in Zurich/Geneva...or ride these places if I can ever get a good S&S bike.
