  • Yes my point is that this thread is being diluted by too many bikes with shiney, expensive parts that are for the most part great bikes, but fall short of being proper HHSBS

    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.

    There it is, the ultimate HHSB. Plus he plays a mean harmonica

    All valid points but you're all forgetting that threads evolve.

    Look at the first pages of the bike porn thread, thing change and people can adapt or protest, their choice.
