Cycle Chic

[ldrcycles]

Is it a cross post from the ugly bikes thread too?

I'm trying to decide which is the least attractive, the bike, the car or the model's hair.

[yugyug]

I think it's the general avarice exemplified by car shows that is the least attractive thing in that photo.

Personally I think the bike and the model's hair are both kind of cool. I've seen worse cars too, though that does look like car Batman might choose to drive for a boy's night out on mardi gras.

I happen to have these because I'm also a Alfaholic.

It is an Alfa bike too.

Looks like a fixie but its got gears

It's the handlebar that has me confused.

Pursuit bar, originally a track item and once as a base bar for TT bikes. Now a popular fit on Fixed Gear bikes (Like mine) for those riders who think a 300mm length of broomhandle is just silly.

Lots of hand positions but cleaner looking than drops and great for honking a big gear.

I wanna know where they're hiding the shifters, don't look like Di2/EPS to me...

Being an ex carpenter I must admit the bit of timber dowel as a handle bar does have some appeal.

Would look heap better with a silver quill stem with concealed bolts

Blame Christopher. He made me look at fyox in the specials section...

Note to self. Chic not Chick. Oh well when in Rome...

[isabella24]

Meh... I think the lady in the photos on the fyxo website looks chic enough in a beachy, summery way.
She has a lovely, healthy, fit looking body unlike some of the skinny models that are held up as 'ideal women's bodies' these days.

Love that Melbourne tan...

Francesco Clemente on Bianchi Milano. And the phone

I like this man in milan.

Clever mounting of the document folder. And a much better place to store the U-lock than in one's back pocket

[il padrone]

That Italian gent is the epitome of cycle chic

That is a specially designed document folder for bicycle use. But of course he does live in Milan - close to the heartland of Italian custom leathergoods.

[Mulger bill]

Yep, that's style. Nice find

[rodneycc]

Good to see the Brooks saddle matches his shoes.

Simone Righi a tailor from Florence. Can't ID the bike

I stumbled across BikeFancy of Chicago as it's got a lower spec Mixte version of a Specialized Globe Live cargo bike I have (was looking for OEM pic for sale ad, not on the Hello Kitty fan club).
I since saw it's been shared on a 2nd hand blog review here with broken image links, so thought I'd plug the archive with the original link, since this bike/pic also made the blog's banner.

I thought that'd be the opposite of chic

Might be the hipster tattoo that's put off Jas...

i love doc martens. but docs are not chic.

[eldavo]

The qualifier for this "chic" is it is cycle chic, not just regular fashion chic, that is fine for a cold climate with lots of clothing, e.g. the home of tweed I imagine wouldn't be popular right now as the UK swelters in record summer heat.

Probably also depends on your demographic for being disturbed when you look down from your chic ivory tower
