Of course, "looking dorky" is in the eye of the beholder. I've proven in the past that I am perfectly willing to cross my own arbitrary lines of taste, like that shot of my Rush Hour a few posts above this. I'll do it again, if necessary, in the interest of giving this bike a fair shot. I'm also willing, if necessary, to admit defeat and either pass this bike along or put it in my collection of pretty things that barely get used (though that is a collection I'm trying to put a cap on). The real purpose of this thread though is to hear from people who think it's possible to straddle that line of aesthetic snobbery and drastic posture correction without short changing either. I believe it's possible, so I wanted to draw inspiration from those pioneers who have done it well.
