It's your bike, and you get what you want. Plus, of course, if you buy from the likes of Vanilla, it'll be a work of art. Sacha is not an engineer, he's an artist, as far as I'm concerned. As for wanting a new bike in a few years, I doubt it. Check out this thread in C&V, from a guy who's been riding his Alex Singer since 1970

I don't care about how long any of the tubes are or what any of the angles are, I just want a bike that's comfortable and fun to ride. Someone who builds bikes should figure out how long the tubes should be so that I don't have to think about it.
