Marginal Gains

A Black-breasted Red Modern Game rooster, tall and lean with orange hackles and a black breast, in a dark green canvas workshop apron over a white shirt, standing upright on long scaled rooster legs with his wings folded behind his back, leaning over a wooden workbench in a brick bicycle workshop, a matte black time-trial bicycle with a disc wheel on a repair stand, a seat post on a small digital scale and a row of small tools on the bench, a spare disc wheel below, a plain brass wall clock without numerals, warm light from a high window
