Poseur, or not?

quite frankly, I think these pictures look absolutely ridiculous, except that his father ownes the company. So, if your dad owns the company, and your name is Alessandro Colnago, is it ok to dress like this for a ride, or are you a poseur??

You also probably wear sweatshirts, think starbucks make coffee, and find it pretty easy to assault Italian style from a blue collar outlook. And you also misspelled "ridiculous". Merry Christmas and a better next year.

Wool hat in combination with exposed legs does seem weird ... but maybe he's just way cooler than you, OP ... maybe this guy has enough power to be able to dress like this and get away with it.

From the picture that i can see on my phone,i don't see anything wrong with the second one.

Looks like magazine article copy, except for the fact the composition is horrid.

If they are everyday pictures. then yes...

It's gonna be a LOONNGGG winter!

gbg 12-24-11 09:22 AM

He looks tres rediculous!

Right Said Fred 12-24-11 09:43 AM

At least he's not wearing the kit of a team he doesn't ride for like most poseurs.

Velo Vol 12-24-11 09:47 AM

Nice Christmas touch with the footwear.

rjones28 12-24-11 09:48 AM

When I clicked on this thread, I expected to see someone in branded kit from head to toe.

I say "or not."

Why is he riding 808's?

Garfield Cat 12-24-11 10:12 AM

Ever since Steve Jobs died, I have seen so many mock turtlenecks and jeans type costumes around. Next time you go into a GAP store, check out the mock turtlenecks.

Now that "Jobs look" is ridiculous.

jrobe 12-24-11 10:14 AM

A poseur is just someone that makes more money than you.

Because he can. :thumb:

pallen 12-24-11 10:17 AM

Poseur? no.
D-bag? maybe.

I'm also jealous.

Bighec 12-24-11 10:17 AM

Could have done without the wool hat and red booties...

OP must be jelly, especially of those red booties.
