That post should have had a parental advisory warning. You can't unsee that.schroeds wrote: Not chic:

Semi ontopic,that is another kit I have seen recently that is a camouflage print. I struggle to imagine anything more stupid than deliberately trying to blend in with the surroundings. It's like bike ninja, in the daytime...

Not sure it blends in too wellXplora wrote:that is another kit I have seen recently that is a camouflage print. I struggle to imagine anything more stupid than deliberately trying to blend in with the surroundings. It's like bike ninja, in the daytime...
But in any case, camouglage is all the rage.... check this out from hipster Melbourne brand Attaquer. Bit of an acquired taste?

Hardly your trad approach....you'd wanna be bloody good to wear this stuff I reckon.
PS I do not have any relationship with attaquer or any inclination to wear dodgy flouro camo or grow a hipster moustache

They are made by Time for Hermès ... so if Hermès are commiting big time to cycling it must be rather chic! ( they are producing a more sporty version ).
PS.. mate didn't buy it... he is a test rider for Time, thats a gig I wouldn't mind .

Do NOT make the mistake of hunting for what was taken as chic MTB kit from the early-mid 90s thenXplora wrote:Attaquer has some great fluoro "8 bit" graphics on black background, like old school Space Invaders, which is visible and looks fine, if you are into the style.

That weight is a bit disappointing for full carbon, my old 3 speed racer weighs 12.6 including a full steel water bottle and SPD pedals .toolonglegs wrote:I laughed yesterday... mate has one of these ( €7500 !!! ) ... full carbon including the mudguards, weighs in at under 12 kgs which is pretty impressive for a city bike. He did 80kms on it yesterday including some climbing. Said the belt drive and alfine hub does rob power but all in all not too bad.
