Prav, I don't try to rank everything. Maybe it appears so, but in truth, its the opposite.
I believe in freedom of choice, and freedom of expression.
What some (not implying you btw) fail to realise, is that I hardly take sides, and I refuse to follow a trend, unless by happy happenstance, it coincides with mine also.
I absolutely love some OTPs, but some (maybe many) are plain nasty. That said, I aspire to some bikes that will never appear as OTPs either.
Just because I question things, doesn't mean I'm trying to provoke (as Tynan said first).
Hipsters, of which I will never be one (c'mon, be honest, just look at me), may disagree with what I say. But I think its fair to comment on how classy some OTPs are becoming, and how far away others are......to the standard of classy Custom-Made bikes.
The way I see it, its the Masi Speciale Ltd Edition versus the Tommasini Tecno Track.
The Masi is possibly excellent, but the Tomassini, if used as a starting point, is better.
Maybe next year, some OTPs might be even closer. Maybe even this year.
