Ok, so my PERSONAL taste does not run to MTBs, BMXs or tourers, but I guess they can be pornstars to others. I prefer Campag to Shimano, that doesn't make me right. I save my disdain for pedal-free wallhanging show-ponies, which are immaculate because they're unridden.
But, thinking of show-ponies, that Merckx is like turning Kauto Star into a dressage horse, it's just wrong, that's not what it's made for.
More beautiful bikes, if you please and stop squabbling!
