Frankly more often than not I have to double-check what thread I'm browsing, which is a bit of a shame, particularly when browsing for porn. Taste is obviously very subjective, but the portrayed bikes in this thread should always speak for themselves.
Could we not try to avoid the array of "love the colour, this frame could work, this one has great potential, kinda like this bike, but..." type of bikes, which seem to be more and more dominant.
I might be alone here, but to me bike porn is about absolute perfection and attention to detail. The right components, for the right frame, set up just right. It could be the saddle angle or maybe a modern derailleur on a "classic" build; if anything, and I mean anything, needs changing, to me it doesn't qualify as certified porn.
Not sure if it would be overkill to start a "Bikes I like" thread, it probably would, so please gents, and ladies of course, be more discriminate and always prioritise quality over quantity.
