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??

:roflmao2:sorry, but I think he looks ridiculous...

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...

OP. Fail

Well technically he is posing for the photos.

whats wrong with how he dresses?

He's just European.

i wont hold that against him.

It's gonna be a LOONNGGG winter!

He looks tres rediculous!

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

Nice Christmas touch with the footwear.

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

I say "or not."

That wouldn't take much.......

+1

Why is he riding 808's?

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.

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

Because he can. :thumb:

Poseur? no.
D-bag? maybe.

I'm also jealous.

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

What are you talking about?

OP must be jelly, especially of those red booties.

Definitely not a poseur. A poseur is a wannabee. This guy is the genuine article.

You'd think he'd be riding a more stylin' bike if his dad owns the company; not just some stealth black bike. But what do I know, I'm not Euro.

Looks no more rediculous than your average fat guy on a group ride wearing a brightly colored full team kit.

808's + aero booties + prototype frame = idiotic Americans chuckling. If any of you ever left the virtual world and rode enough to understand that he is standing around wearing a watch cap because he has trained his body to hold very little fat, this thread wouldn't be here. Would it.

agreed on all three statements!!
