Lego bikes
I keep seeing Lego Man. Threadless was a versatility and strength issue. It was never about aesthetics. Look at the head tubes and BBs of your top of the range bikes. They are built for folks who can regularly generate 1500 Watts and some. It is like a car driver who insists on having Lewis Hamilton's front wing on his car before he goes to the local Starbucks.
There is a time and a place.
Horses for courses.
