Again, I have one similar (newer by three years)
http://www.kurtkaminer.com/TH_paramountregistry.html ..............
several posters here have mentioned that they've seen worse done on BF to bicycles..... as have I.
So envy ? Don't think so............read my posting #101, top of the page.
I am distressed by the general directional trends I witness in Bicycle Universe.
This seems typical of a trend that is driven by money, marketing, and mindset.
The modifications are, IMO, driven not by function (as has been suggested by
many here), but by something else..............thanks uncle uncle. And yes indeedy
it makes me very uncomfortable..........luckily not to the point of nausea.
I do recall several moments at the recent North American Hand Made Bicycle
show here (where I worked as a volunteer), where I really did have to step out
for a bit of air. The atmosphere was a bit rarefied, at times...........
