Oh man, that's crazy, ....no I meant jump to flat. Still, I got a chill, seeing those drop bars.

But speaking of art and design, I like buildings that feature few interior walls, exposed structure.
I'm the same way with machines, I don't like the superficial 'decorative' aspect on my bikes.

I design Greco-Romanesque sculpture, but I love deconstructavism and abstract painting.

If I had a beauty bike, it go on cakewalks, not bushwackin'. Racing bikes have no need of decorative frills, they are designed for structural integrity. The beauty in the design is correcty anticipating the harsh stresses put on the frame and transferring the energy to multiple areas of the framework so as it doesn't fail.

Beauty in design, not neccesarily looks.>jef.
