Who Knew?


Wow, just when you think you know someone, something strange turns up. The story seemed too good - white picket fence, fantastic family life, getting paid to ride bikes, nice guy, etc. However, this photo surfaced on The Smoking Gun.

Turns out BJM was leading a dual life - the FBI had been tracking him for several years, and on the street he was known as Bad Assassin Ben (BAB). He is a "person of interest" in several unresolved mysteries. He was 6th (go figure) on the FBI's Most Wanted List. He is in custody at this point - his wife turned him in after she noticed his frame pump really wasn't a frame pump - it was a carbon fiber rocket launcher. BAB is being held without bail at a top secret supermax facility due to him being a flight risk. He apparently has been approached by several European cycling teams to race for them due to his strong performance on the domestic scene.

Clearly his sponsors did not do a very thorough background check. Also, he loses points for wearing sunglasses a bit too large for his face.

Poor Goldi and Chase. Our thoughts are with them.

    Yeah well at least it was painted to match the bike. Plus that helps protect the CF from deteriorating in the sunlight. :)

    And that's why Goldi knew something was up - who uses a frame pump anymore?

    Hey aren't you supposed to be racing?

    Make sure you get the co-conspirators in this too... :)

    oh and I'm an eye witness to the "frame pump" i tell you, I've seen it. it was casually placed on a bike rack, in their living room no less, with a towel thrown over it like it was just an elaborate piece of cycling machine...

    I know the difference!!!

    What a tragic story...he always seemed like such a nice young man. Who would have thought he'd turn to a life of crime?

    Co-conspirators? All I know is that I was told I would get some hugs and cookies for this... next time I'm holding out for some SRAM Force components.
