Apparantly there can be all kinda reasons why a prop gets into the picture in show biz. Sometimes arbitrary, sometimes not. Back in the late '60's there was a group called the Peppermint Rainbow. One of the singers told me that they were on a CBS TV show doing their song "Will You be Staying A

I can partially answer that. The two people are a 'real life' couple. That is indeed her actual atlantis. I don't know her, but have stayed at the guys house on a motorcycle trip years back, as he was a mutual friend of a guy who was also staying with him at the time. That's sounds confusing...

In any case, someone has excellent taste in bicycles. I must admit though without the head badge AND the heads-up to look for it, I certainly would have missed it. dougP On Saturday, March 26, 2016 at 6:21:56 PM UTC-7, cyclot...@gmail.com wrote: > > Just watched this, and was going to say ag

Just watched this, and was going to say again at the 17 sec mark. I think she has it set up w/ straight bars. Would be interesting to hear how that got into the video. If it's the actor's personal bike, a production assistant's ride, if Levi's wanted it, whatever. On Sun, Mar 20, 2016 at 1:38 PM,

I'm not a young hipster, but if this clothing were available in my size, I'd buy it. I pretty much only ride in leggings/jeggings because of comfort, stretch, and durability. On Monday, March 21, 2016 at 8:41:41 AM UTC-7, Eric Norris wrote: > > Look at all the people (myself included) who carry

well this has succeeded in making me take another look the products. i saw some in a store, several years ago, and was pretty turned off by the awkward gusset, padding/double thick areas, and a few other details that i thought defeated the purpose of a non-cycling cycling pant. from their page,

Not just a young hipster product, I assure you! I know a lot of guys in their 50's and 60's here who love the jeans, and they're not all stick figure physique either. They have a nice amount of stretch, re-enforced in the saddle-area, and they wick away water nicely (that feature goes away over tim

Look at all the people (myself included) who carry messenger bags but don't work as bicycle messengers. I've bought a lot of stuff at Chrome stores, but I'll never use their products for the intended purpose. Levis will probably sell a lot of this clothing to young hipsters. --Eric N www.CampyO
