You're right. But even with the old bikes, it can sometimes get out of hand. It sometimes seems that folks are wholly consumed with making a bike look "proper." At a certain point, anything can become a caricature of itself (and ultimately cheapened by the generic quality that comes with it).
Every bike is different. You just gotta throw the formula out the window and go with whatever is right for it...
