Is Jan considered a hottie? I thought Cipo might fit the bill a little better. Maybe even Basso.

 

maybe not, but she has a crush on jan

cipo, basso, voigt, either schleck brother, boby j.....pretty much anyone would work.

anyone?

 

Sorry, man. Never seen those. You might be able to make one from a big poster...

yea it does.

im in college
this isn't a gf, just a teammate who im close with (in a non sexual way) who i wanted to get one for as a nice gesture for her b-day
i dont spend 179 bucks in a month, let alone on a piece of cardboard. even when im racing 2 days every weekend, driving to races and such, i dont spend that kind of money in a month..... the money for this is coming out of that fund (biking has its own fund, race fees, gas, new parts, etc.....which is already all used up).

good idea, thought of it but we only have 1 lbs here and i dont want to risk spoiling the relationship.

when im there next ill ask if i can get one through from them

 

I've actually got one......

but probably not what you're looking for. I've got a life sized cardboard figure of...Marco Pantani. He was in the window of the LBS, a bianchi dealer, after his giro/tour double in 1998. Around 2000, he lost position in the window to a Lance likeness, and the shop owner was about to put Marco in the trash while I was there. It just didn't seem right, so I took him in. Pantani presides over me during indoor training sessions in the "bike room". I've thought about ebaying him, but he's now like one of he family.

 

well how nice fignon, now you have a new family member

 

Check the shops

I used to have a life size cutout of Lance and Jan that I procured from the local bike shop after promotions from Trek and Giant. Ask around, they usually hold onto them and they might sell them to you. And if you race in the ECCC, I know UVM has a life size cutout of the Beer Girl which was used to cheer people on at races. That's sort of a cycling related cutout.

 

Please accept my

Sorry! The mitigating details were not obvious in the OP.

 

its cool. i wasnt clear on it.

 

I had a cipo cutout in his zebra jersey, but i threw it away a few years ago.

 

How about having Kinko's print out a full size print (plus you get to choose the photo) and you glue it onto some cardboard and trim accordingly. Should be ALOT less than $179.
