Please Jimmy_Fingers don't try to kill HHSB.
If you don't like this thread why you visit then?
Go back to Bike Porn, that's a dead thread, enjoy it there.
He's not trying to kill it, he's trying to make you lot realise the roots of HHSB. There's a fine line between true HHSB and anti-porn. Making a cookie-cutter Leader/Dosnoventa/whatever with thomson seatpost/stem, compact drops, zoncolan saddle and deep wheels isn't HHSB. It's got to be out the ordinary, something different, something ridiculous, but not ugly. It's in the name, being a slave to fashion with aethetics over function.
For example
This is awesome
This is boring
Saying that, people complaining about saddle angles and that can fuck right off.
