Personally I find all the pictures of old road bikes and lovingly restored track bikes that are never allowed to see a drop of rain rather boring, but i'm not going to tell somebody their choice of bike porn is wrong or has no place here.
I feel like i've seen more than enough polished and re-panto'd old track frames with period correct parts, carefully leaned up on walls so as not to scratch the bar tape.
I much prefer seeing bikes that are being built from new materials, or with new technology, or bikes built for new types of riding, or even bikes that just look like every part has been chosen because it's the best part for it's specific task, and has been built to be ridden hard...regardless of how well it's colours match.
Bike porn is a big enough title to fit everybody's tastes in there, so let's not keep trying to limit things by telling people their choice is wrong.
If it was filled with nothing but immaculate old track and road bikes it would be as boring for some people as it would if it was filled with nothing but Fatbikes and dirty MTB's.
To quote Moodymann... "I don't like just one colour of that rainbow...I like em all baby, ya dig?"
