Bike porn

yeah right. But if you not wanna achieve a certain look what for these retro parts? If you wanna achieve best performance why so nuts about retro frame and parts?

And if you wanna have it straight you don't walk around and make compromises(this way can lead as well in anti porn but straight shit is better than average shit). So it is no Anti Porn it is something I don't care. Amen!

My point was there is no compromise. A handmade steel frame is excellently suited to touring, not just a retro gimmick, and look at the modern BB etc. I see no comprimise.

What the fuck does it matter to you? It's SP's bike and he's happy with it.

Frankly, your opinion matters not one iota.

To be fair it is the bike porn thread, and its a (very) honest opinion.
