Apologies, I've been cranky lately...
It is lovely, felt it too pretty to be sweaty, I have to remember there's room for the natty along with the ratty

It's ok, I have been a bit militant lately. I got someone to change the title of his thread, because I hated it...

Not surprised - our resident fanboy of all which is "alternative" likes to protect it.
A good article from 10 years ago:

From my side, I like to look in history. The evolution of fashion and industry. I'm glad there are "alternative" bike cultures but I get wound up when they think they have invented the bees knees and take it upon themselves to aim for a fashion statement. That Surly for example with absolutely dead horizontal bars at the same height with the saddle was never a thing because it's an anatomical abortion for actual riding.
The only evidence I have found of similar positions is mainly on bikes destined for "short distance-stop-dismount-deliver-remount-short distance" type of bikes. Which makes sense.
Pop will eat itself.
