Being a poseur, classic or otherwise, is not easy. Especially with the vintage stuff. Oh, it's one thing to buy a 1971 Harry Quinn. And decid e when you repaint to do it in maybe an Austin Healey-esque blue. That's easy. But then you are confronted with the problem of find the right co-ordinating wool jersey to wear with it. Harry Quinn did have a team d id they not c. 1962??? Something with Castol Everyman oil?? Anywa y, 'tis a problem if you want, as all cyclist poseurs must, the "nod". But it's helpful to see VintageVelos coming out with plain black wool jerseys. Al l black with Austin Healey blue.. now that might be nod-worthy afterall. ..
What I can't abide are cross-generational poseurs... the VintageVelo
Molteni jerseys on Treks and Litespeeds. That's confused posing at its worst. Wear wool but ride carbon fibre. What can they be thinking?
