How "comes" high-end bike makers insist on plastering gaudy names and logos all over the place?

Would you buy a car if it had a hideous "Ford" or "Toyota" scrawled across the hood, doors, and trunk?

It's just a cockpit and wheel change away from being ride-able, though.

My Cervelo has far less logo-ness than a Trek.

Yah. That guy ADDED all those logos himself. That guy is just a poser. No way Cervelo sponsors someone and then makes their bike that fugly.

I'm losing it. I heard a song I liked on the radio but within a few minutes, when I went to look it up on the Internets, I had already forgotten the title and artist.

No wonder you feel loopy. Your liver must be turning itself inside out.
