Bike porn

Here's my two pennys worth on this thread - it's less bike porn and more photography porn.

Does anyone ride half these bike? or do they just keep them in showrooms, museums, sheds and polish them every second of the day. I can't take any bike seriously as porn unless it looks like its being ridden, like someone is getting the enjoyment out of it, like its being lived. Isn't that what its all about bike = man+machine in symbiotic relationship?

not to get into an argument, but sometimes it's fun to just build a bike. Plus, it's not easy to do well. Every try it from the ground up? When you're done take a photo and see if it gets any replies in one of the readers wives threads, Let alone posted here.
