That's why I like them. I think a bike is a collection of lines and curves of varying thinknesses and radii, that in total are pleasing to the eye. Modern bikes sometimes become clunky and too angular, somewhat like the new Cadillacs. Being an 'old guy', my tastes lean to the classic designs, a good example being a Ferrari Lusso. But taste is what makes the world go 'round. I should have my 'make-over' frame in a couple of weeks, so time will tell. -------------------- Steel lover, but then I like Ti with carbon too.
