I don't look at a bike as if I was at an art expo, by staring at it for long periods of time trying to see the bigger Over all picture. To me, a HOT bike is hot before you have the chance to look over the details.
Yes, connoisseurs like yourself more readily see more of the truth and aren't as easily blinded by superficialities. Over the last year or so I've learned to notice things right away that before I couldn't distinguish from a hole in the ground. Of course we can't argue matters of taste, but that doesn't mean opinions are all of indifferent value. Some are supported by logic and truth and others are based on fallacy. I just thought I'd point out what was appealing and why it seemed to be "getting off easy." That's how it is, though - if it's pretty enough or shapely enough, some people lose sight of the "beauty inside." Not saying that Cannondale is a bimbo, but I think you get my drift.
