Well, I took your bait. Pretty ironic that someone would take something that's known for flamboyant graphics and paint it battleship gray. But then again, ironic is hip. Does it raise my blood pressure? No, but it does make me roll my eyes a little. That doesn't really distinguish it from the aesthetic choices that lots of people make about all kinds of things, or a lot of music that gets (IMHO) way too much airplay. As far as the whole fixed gear fad goes, it's never the fixed gear part that bothers me.
