What about retro uncool ?? Here's what I can remember.

- a guy who came by "Paul's Bike Shop" in Urbana Illinois (the same shop that's now located in Eugene, Oregon), to do, viz :

- talk endlessly about how he didn't like the seat tube on his schwinn paramount and he was thinking of getting it replaced.

- he had the brightest colored jerseys and detto pietro shoes

- his clothes always looked like they had never been washed, let alone worn.

- he was about the slowest 10-speed rider in the prairie cycle club of central illinois.

What else qualifies a rider as a "poser" ??
