Nope, it's functional (just about).
I don't mind full rigid MTBs (I've owned a lot) I just don't like most 'throwbacks', retro stuff, etc.
Just give me round steel tubes welded to each other in a double diamond OR give me a wind-tunnel tested, absolute proprietary, pain in the ass to build, you'll never find spares for it, kill or be killed machine.

c.h.e.
So curvy old school on a bike that has no bounce but goes fast offroad somehow makes sense?
I don't have mine because I am that into the old school looks, but because I wanted fun offroad without high-tech stuff that breaks. And stooge is somehow the best offering in that niche segment.
I like that focus, it's proper no bullshit cross bike, fond memories of the guy that stopped when I crashed, he had one like that. But it's not beautiful.
