{Struggling to think of a post title}.
This is merely an observation that I found interesting ... before anyone climbs up onto a tall pony.
Restrap are doing a run of limited edition bags and such which is smashing but when I saw this photograph I had to take a second and third look as my brain couldn't quite understand what it was seeing. Look at the hands, then look at the face.
My mind says, the position of the hands indicate they belong to a woman but the beard says it's a man. I appreciate it's not very exciting but it struck me how perception can be swayed but maybe it's just me?

you are just so binary....grandad get with the kids and gender fluidity
I think we just associate handbags with ladies and that makes it appear to be more feminine than it really is.

I’ll admit I’m struggling to think of the point you’re trying to make
Just looks like a bloke putting something in or taking something out of a musette to me.

Can we have an addition to the swear filter please?
Stu - I get what you are saying. We are probably more familiar seeing that pose with someone who identifies as "not a man" - but then we can't infer anything about how the person in the photo wants to define their gender.

That's perhaps true but I (like you) are from a generation that thought Benny Hill was perfectly normal afternoon family viewing, so I'm probably tainted.you are just so binary....grandad get with the kids and gender fluidity
Perhaps so Colin. It's not the fact that someone is placing / removing something from what looks a little like a handbag (something we're used to seeing women do) but it's something more subtle about the relationship between them, the bag and how they're holding their hands.Stu - I get what you are saying.

I'm more concerned about the bullsh :
"CHPT3 is a design lab created to push the edge of what is possible in cycling"
"CHPT3 is pure racing heritage for non-racers"
Forty quid for a tool roll.... £180 for a jersey.... oh well, if people want to pay, fair enough ...

Re: {Struggling to think of a post title}.
Oh - I know exactly what you mean. Was it posed like that or is that one of a stream of photos? I could look back through thousand of my photos and find a few where folk are caught in an unfortunate pose. I guess that, if I think through the process of wearing/using one of those handbags, then that might be the perfectly natural and sensible way to use it.Bearbonesnorm wrote: ↑Mon May 25, 2020 11:06 amThat's perhaps true but I (like you) are from a generation that thought Benny Hill was perfectly normal afternoon family viewing, so I'm probably tainted.you are just so binary....grandad get with the kids and gender fluidity

It's David Millar's brand so it does have the racing heritage at least and not just made up advertising bs.
Gives me a couple of ideas though,
- become a top racing cyclist
- make some tool rolls

Calling his brand CHPT3 makes inquisitive types investigate Chapters 1 & 2."CHPT3 is a design lab created to push the edge of what is possible in cycling"
"CHPT3 is pure racing heritage for non-racers"
Chapter 1, become a decent junior and youth roadie, get taken on by a pro team and use drugs to get to the next level. Get caught and fall from grace.
Chapter 2, do your time and become a born again anti drugs evangelist, write a best selling book bleating that "the big boys made you do it" which amazingly people seem to believe. Surprise surprise, never regain former glories as cheating has moved on. Who says cheats never prosper?

Uhm, would you have chosen to use it if it were just a random picture?Was it posed like that or is that one of a stream of photos?

Re: {Struggling to think of a post title}.
Given that CHPT3 are based in Girona along with a whole host of wanky overpriced cycle brands, such as The Service Course, that make R@pha look like Wurzel Gummidge's brand of choice, I think a suitable thread title should be "Only in Girona"
I did a gravelwanker event there a couple of years ago, boy did I feel poor!
