Not trying to be unique. I like what I like. You like what you like. I don't think Quickbeam lovers are wrong to love it, so why do they seem to care that I don't care for it?

For the record:
1. I don't dislike Rivendell at all. and as for Jobst, The XO-1 is one of my favorite bikes of all time.
2. I know it costs a lot to make a quality frame, but I will never consider $800 inexpensive. I fully appreciate the quality that goes into a Quickbeam, but I'll never consider buying a frame that expensive unless I'm absolutely in love with it.
3. Chrome bags look nice, but they're a tad expensive
