Maybe somebody is interested... I would get it if it were near me and I had a few extra $$$ In truth, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" (3rd century BC, Greek) so everyone is entitled to like or dislike this bike's appearance, without agreement nor justification. I am reminded of the "Goth Look" - black, body piercings everywhere, IMO strange hair and make-up - all done to be "different. And to be "different" it is necessary to all be the same????????? Others may find "beauty" there, but not me. I find "look at me! I'm special! And you 're not! And you must agree with me!" (No, I mustn't!! And I don't!) Your mileage may vary...........
