Well, what I was thinking of were some bikes that seem to be designed to be looked at rather than ridden, and that being their primary function. Perhaps I didn't express it very well, but it hit me while looking through a blog where someone had photographed a whole bunch of very beautiful thought slightly overdone bikes as if they were sculptures. And it got me thinking.

I think that's an extremely good point.
