Maybe, I just hate it as every single aspect has been designed for it Instagram friendly point scoring... Belt drive that can be just as neglected as the ubiquitous rusty chain on any step through bicycle but costs 100 times as much, check, matchy matchy boutique paintjob on stem just so everyone knows it's not off the peg, check, fadez because that's so hot right now, check, matchy matchy brooks and tape because that's the bread and butter of any custom bike, check, step through so you don't split your tight chinos, check, sweep back bars to look like maximum cock womble and stop your raybans slipping off your pasty capitalist face, check, discs because you'd never be able to stop yourself otherwise without spilling your latte when you unexpectedly pass Tarquin in Islington, check, curved seat stays because otherwise it might just look like a fucking Raleigh shopper someone's renovated, check.
In all it gets a comprehensive 'would not bang' from me.
