He looks like cyclist without a helmet to me. And I do not really care what is he wearing

Just another roadie.

He's Ernesto's son, riding a "stealth" bike, and not a hint of advertising on his kit??? BLASPHEMY!!!

SP
Bend, OR

Who cares, he has a nice bike, a good family and probably rides it more than 90 % of BF'ers.
Besides, don't all of us spandex wearing bike dweebs have a bit of poseur in us.

Whaaa???

that look is stealth with attitude. i like it.

^^^ nailed it

I think the bike is sick. I also don't think he is a poser. I just think the red booties and wool knit cap aren't exactly nice looking. Maybe a black beanie with black booties would have nailed it. But like someone mentioned earlier maybe he's trying to exude Christmas spirit...

?? All I can say is does it really matter?

his missing the gloves, and the helmet. Definitively not poseur. His just careless.

Are you kidding me!
The practiced scowl, the pointed effeminate toe, the extended pinky, the expensive watch, PURE POSER!

Wow, this reminds me of all of the threads on the Harley forums where the "real bikers" are whining about RUBs (Rich Urban Bikers) riding $30-40k baggers and store-bought custom bobbers..... (Just one more reason my Harley sits in the garage while my "real bikes" get ridden daily)

What does it matter if his dad owns the company, or whether you do or don't like his attire, or whether he is wearing a helmet. He is riding a bike and not driving a cage, so as far as I am concerned he is a cyclist.

EDIT: Ok, his Grandfather own the company....

He shaves his guns, he can possibly be a poser!

His grandfather owns the company.....he is Ernesto's grandson, not his son.

having been brought up in a cycling culture he's likely faster than anyone any of you guys will actually ever ride with.

First of all if your father owns the company you are pretty darn lucky by default. Secondly you sound ridiculous, jealous and would have served yourself better by not even posting. :rolleyes:

never been a fan of Colnagos and he looks like a Hans to me....
either way, schwag bike. You would think his bike would have Campy and Boras...

He certainly looks genuine to me, too.

Just by looking at his legs anyone should be able to tell he is legit. He could be wearing anything and that wouldnt change.

Same country as Cippolini? I'd say he's understated.

fify

wtf is wrong with what he's wearing? freaking freds

Except for the wool hat, instead of a helmet, he looks like half the guys I see every day.

Fixed.

He's Italian. That's how they roll. Riding is more than exercise to them, it's fashionable and the way you dress makes a statement...

I'm Greek, I have a photo of a shepherd from a trip we made to my father's village in the late 90's. He's out with his staff and his sheep wearing a sports coat, a sweater, slacks and dress shoes.

My cousins wouldn't leave the house unless their hair is perfect and they are dressed fashionably.

I think he looks like someone that has been on a bike for a lot of miles.

P.S. I've taken my expensive watch on a ride when staying in a hotel without a safe to leave it in...

Looks like a hipster to me. Hipsters=Cool

Sweet ride.

This thread is a new low for the 41.

Not a poseur. I like how low-key his bike and clothes are: no giant company logos on the frame or clothes, just a discrete Colnago logo on the head tube. He should have anonymized the wheels as well, though...

Really. It even lacks the humor of vicelord or ryanf.
