Living in the city, a cf bike would stand out like a naked lady on the subway. They are really flashy, brightly colored and have huge type on them. I love the fact that my bike is subtle but sweet. I also think it is a great thing that these companies are paying proper respects to such an iconic time in bicycling history.
Oh, and I also think these bikes are perfect for people who love vintage steel but want modern components without having to build it themselves.
