Seriously though, what is the origin of that photo? He obviously has serious intent. I wonder if it is the Australian Ariel brand? The bike has the American astabula type cranks.
He wouldnt have to worry about toeclip overlap. He has to worry about Chainwheel overlap!

Thunder-thighs McGee was the odd name his sponsor Ariel coined for him. F****W** Norm to those that new him better. True.
