Your being an idiot isn't relevant to this thread.

Good photographs are nice, somebody who has put a lot of work and time (even if not money) into a build has a right to record the result as pleasingly as possible when it's fresh off the work stand, and before they go and thrash the hell out of it on whatever roads or trails they made it for.

Learn to live in peace with fashionistas co-opting something which is just a part of your day to day life, they do it to everything and it doesn't help you to be a snob about it. Bikes and riding will still be just as much fun after they've moved on to the next trend as they were before.

NO ... In Short.

Good Photographs are nice I agree ... but this is going to far ... it is poncyness for the sake of it. I am fed up with it.

The chap with the green track/Fixed frame a few pages back had it right nice photos but not OTT... there has to be balance. I can't believe I am arguing not being a poncy nob. Take a decent pic and get on with it, but when someone has obviously gone out of their way to make an art piece ... for what end other than appealing to their poncy mates who obvioulsy ride a fixed because it is cool thing to do.

Apparently I am a fucking idiot because I believe in something being what it is and not something OTT ... and I got the balls to say it. All that pinarello is ... is a shiny bike ... nothing more ... nothing less .. nobody loves it for what it is ... I love my shite looking mountain bike because it rides well and I love ride it, not because it looks nice.
