Strumpet.Plus that old Masi logo panel has much too much going on- Tradition be damned. It could be improved by riding the hell out of it, dropping it (accidentally, but it will happen), riding it a bunch more, leaning it against some stuff, using it, riding it, and generally having a great time aboard it as opposed to polishing it, etc.<br /><br />We all love the bikes (right? why else are we here? OK, maybe for the hot pictures of gatherings of Minnesotans drinking awkwavitte), but the fetishizing of the appearance of the matchine versus the experiencing/using of the matchine is, to my mind, the wrong fetishizing. Gentlemen- priorities. I realize it is Winter, but it will be Spring again.<br /><br />reverend dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00090415465883988497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2695748260936745505.post-50742582833602365312013-01-03T06:44:34.495-08:002013-01-03T06:44:34.495-08:00The style of the times I think.The style of the times I think.Gunnar Berghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17451985764040900726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2695748260936745505.post-4062931724526490882013-01-03T05:40:23.139-08:002013-01-03T05:40:23.139-08:00The seatpost looks non-period correct to me.
