Ralph Lauren to Release Bicycle Line!

You read that right. Ralph Lauren (famous clothing designer) to launch a line of limited edition bicycles.

Quote:
Is Ralph Lauren launching bikes? Whilst these are concepts for now, there seems to be enough buzz online for RL to go into production in a limited run. Collaborating with Affinity Cycles, these fixed gear bikes are sexy as. C'mon Ralphie, what are you waiting for - launch them.
--The Cool Hunter

Forgive me if this was already posted- I searched first and didn't find anything about it.

It's like massively bad hipster fashion on steroids. They look worse than a Tommy Hilfiger design. And the photographer failed.

Your post made me crack up mid latte sip. Good stuff. I concur with the photographer botching the shoot. With the right angles, we photographers can make anything look decent.

Those are horrible -- and aren't hipsters kind of anti-Ralph-Lauren?

I think they are intended for the guy that wants to be thought of as a hipster. Someone with too much cash for a Republic, but not enough sense.

Oh, I think BSNYC has a word for folks like that - starts with a "d" and ends with an "e".
