right...cause bikes are capable of having emotions...and I'm not buying it b/c I don't have that kind of money, just thought it was interesting. I do, however, think it is really really pretty. But that is very wise of you to judge something so international, like bicycles, as relating to an American HIGH SCHOOL trend. Yes, I'm sure that's exactly what frame builders everywhere think about when designing top-notch frames: Is this emo, goth, or punk??
