Sack the designer

Whilst looking for a titanium cyclocross frame I came across this:

Sorry 'Aaron' but what the heck is going on here? It looks like a 1st year apprentices unfinished project.

I had to have a look at 'High Ti's website for other appalling attempts to 'be different':

Not all of them are that bad - but I was alarmed to notice how much finishing work goes into these things. 'You can't polish a turd' as an old neighbour of mine used to say.

Anyway, I found a rather tasty old Seven. Pics coming soon when I can find decent cantis for it.

Either there is something wrong with the photo or the top tube is not right plus its not a thing of beauty is it !

I like them .

What a bunch of gompers.

And not enough Campag around for my tastes.

And it's still only just under 20lbs!

Not too sure what a 'gomper' is - always thought that was an American expression. Anyway - I take it some people actually like these frames?
Proving without question that there is no accounting for taste.
What about those spikes? Good for hanging road-kill on?

Now we're talking........

(sorry, I know its the wrong type of handlebars for this forum but.....)

I quite like it. except for the brooks leather seat.

I prefer the curbed design of the frames in the first posts .

Yes I quite like that too. But what do I know. When
I've got 4 trimbles (had 5. could have 7 by now)
