i can see things from the "purist" angle, and i can understand that ride comfort, frame geometry, materials, yadadada are important when building a certain kind of bike. but i also think that those same things and ideas are limitations when customizing. beauty is in the eye of the beholder and builder. who would be so arrogant as to call one persons art less than another simply because that person's opinions are different? what a boring world that would be if that kind of silliness were reality!!! in the bicycle world there's room for everyone, pedal scapers, tall bikes, "correctly built" bikes, bikes w/ motorcycle wheels, mini's, zoo bombers, gravity bikes, klunkers, rat rods, unicycles.......... viva variety!!!!!
