What do you hate seeing on a gorgeous retro bike?

'Turning off has more to do with little personal fetish than with the real worthiness of a bike'.

You nearly made that sound like a fact.

Snowflake lacing is especially poncey...

Only in your dreams Flower.....lol.

Threads like this, and some of the comments made within it, are putting me off RetroBike.....

Ive not been here that long, but have come to notice a kind of snobbery and elitism that I was not expecting... the fact that there are 7 pages of comments says a lot, I think

Unless I'm ridiculously naive (don't all shout at once), I'm sure there's absolutely no actual hatred here at all, just a bunch of micky taking.

Although I'm not speaking to novekili with his 'upside down stem with risers' nonsense :roll:

Do I need a winky smiley to make this okay?

NEGATIVE RISE STEMS WITH RISERS RULE AND ARE HERE TO STAY!

What else would symbolise the twistedness of my bike fetish better than that?

Tellya more: under the stem there's even a spacer. IN CARBON :twisted: Muahahahaha!

I suppose if you hate something, then it is no longer gorgeous. Admittidly, my reply was aimed at any bike, retro or not. Gorgeous is in the eye of the beholder.....honestly how many times do you think the winner of a beauty contest is really the one which presses all of your buttons?

I wouldn't be so sure... :twisted:

Troll.

If threads like this put anyone off 'retrobiking', then they're taking it all a bit too seriously.
