I saw an early Vanilla in Portland that had been ridden across the U.S., and then chained to every light post in the Pacific Northwest. Similar aesthetic.

There is definitely a point when lack of care shortens the life of a bike or its parts, where you can probably call it neglect or abuse. But think the original purpose of the term 'beausage' was to celebrate the inevitable marks, wear, and other evidence of a bicycle having been used as a faithful tool for living and doing. Not sure where the above bikes fit, but it looks and sounds like they're being well used.

Funny you mention that, as this thread made me think of what was likely the same bike. I remember seeing the eBay auction for it a couple years back. I think the listing promoted it as the world's only beater Vanilla and it certainly looked the part.

I'll acknowledge there's a certain charm to the overly-racked-and-bag-matched garage queen vibe (Still has that new saddle smell!), but these are like finding my grandpa's long lost Estwing in the dark neglected corner of a Home Depot.

wow. One can get a bike powdercoated for around $150 locally here. It wouldn't have the cream headtube but it would look way better than that abomination.
