The Bike Stop

Robert & Shawn just returned from Chicago where they attended the 32nd International Mr. Leather event. The boys swung by the Leather Archives & Museum during contest downtime and snapped this picture featuring the Bike Stop’s own Mr. Philadelphia Leather/IML 1986 Scott Tucker.

The photo shows a hint of the painting that legendary artist Etienne did of Scott; we’re looking for a color version and will post it if we manage to find one.

Robert and Shawn were awed and touched by the Leather Archives & Museum and spent most of the afternoon there snapping pictures, reading placards and being proud to be part of the Leather tradition that is so carefully documented at the LA&M. I’ll pester them to send me more pictures and a report from this year’s IML.
