They are all hideous to my eyes and detract substantially from the overall aesthetic of bikes, particularly steel bikes. I don't understand why you want to do this. It just takes one of the worst of the budget cutting changes that modern bike makers have adopted and applies it inappropriately to an aesthetically beautiful bike. If there was some kind of performance improvement I might understand it, but there isn't.
