Yeah, it’s getting around. Mad props to Snake Hawk for putting it together. It is my favorite thing ever.

Option one: If you want in on VDB’s legacy, there’s a couple of choices. First, download the pdf free of charge at vdbhasaposse.com and go nuts on your own dime. That’s why we made it.
Option two: we have VDB stickers in house. They’re 4.5×5 inch units. Big. Too big for toptubes. Just right for xtracycle snap decks, car bumpers, rail road crossing guards, street signs, lamp posts, bathroom walls. You name it. To get one, send an SASE to our P.O. box and we’ll return you a sticker just because you’re in the know. If you want more than one, order up a pack of 5, 10, 15 or 20 below:
VDB, son. VDB.

Not sure where this combination comes from: respect for the physical and mental challenges of racing (or even just riding) tough courses in punishing conditions AND the effete and precious devotion to “martyrs” and fashion-y apparel. St. Rapha! Europhilia! Luxurious ascetism! O VDB, my king, my king!
Fancy! Tragic! O, the romance, the horror of the epic posse swathed in wool!
What’s next, men, vampires on bikes?

that combination comes from ages upon ages of martyrdom. rich kid drops out, makes gang. gang has fun, till next rich kid comes along. started with paul of tarsus, then monastacism, and ends with ????? ends when rich kids stop dropping out and just follow the rules. if vampires on bikes are next, i’ll likely be sporting a sticker. long live phenomenalism.

“I effuse therefore I am,” eh? Fair enough.
What’s next? How about social networking for “Tingly,” streetwear for Hardcore Coolness?
P.S. VDB of Tarsus? Rough Rapha cloaks? Okaaaaaaay….

yes but who made stickers and how do I get some for my fenders

BC. Just snag some printer sticker paper from Wally-World.
That part is easy. Now all I need me is some fenders.

i made my sticker for my back fender/mudguard. i have a few hundred of them. Frank VDB meant alot to me. I want to spread the posse.
