My plastic bike coexists quite nicely with its older brethren, the Hetchins and DeRosa, as does my fixie conversion and my 9 speed Centurion DSI with brifters. I also have a rigid mountain bike and a modern aluminum mtb. I almost forgot about the Giant hybrid. It is a shame I sold my Trek 520. Now I am missing a touring bike. There is nothing wrong with owning any bike, as long as someone is riding it, it is a good bike.

Oh, I only paid $230 for it, shipped. These frames did not stay on for long, though. I was lucky to get my size.
I really like the ride. I am regretting not ordering two of them.

I think leniency can be granted but there'll be one of two outcomes:
1) You'll like the plastic, drink the Kool-Aid, and dump your C&V bikes on the market, benefiting the rest of us.
2) You'll realize the error of your ways, sell the plastic built up for more than you paid, and buy something else C&V with the spoils.
Is there a third outcome in which the plastic and steel coexist?
