This is not about the hipster <-> non-hipster subject, it's about plain product aesthetics:
Talkin' of H+Son, Dodici, B43 etc., sometimes I see bikes where I really like very deep rims and their looks... aggressive, appealing etc.
Other times I see bikes with deep Vs where I think that this looks just... heavy, wrong.
Both groups of bikes have in common that they are proper steel track frames with modest colour schemes, so I really can't tell what it might be that makes me like those rims with one and not with the other.
Maybe this controversial perception is depending on the frame size?
