Absolutely- personal taste is key. The example was more to show that the same company can make low end and high end things. Hating the company based on the low end stuff seems odd if the high end stuff is good. Its also why I listed all those other brands- they made low end and high end products.
Is it Schwinn's designs that are bad? Or their history? Just trying to understand not liking them specifically when they are but one of many who produced products all across the quality spectrum.
