My point though Skully is that bikes were made to be ridden, and yet people get all pissy about somebody respraying an old colnago and then using it for commuting or in this case chopping a lo-pro and then re-using it as a polo bike when they are still using the bikes for actual riding.
My grievance was more with people who act like it's a bigger crime to alter the original appearance of a bike, and then actually ride the thing, than it is to have it sitting in their hallway looking all original and then use it to hang their jacket on for 363 days of the year.
Perhaps the forum motto should be changed to "It's all about the ride that you can't go on because the ground is still damp and it might make my original paintwork dirty...and besides, my back is still hurting from riding my lo-pro to the pub last summer" ?
