Cool Wall - GT Bicycles - POLL FINISHED

You've all gone mad.

See the problem is, you're equating cool with things that were objectively good, plus had a bit of character.

Now such things may well have been cool too - but they weren't cool because of that.

As many people have tried saying in this thread, cool isn't about exlusivity, excellence, character, or even being particularly good. It's a certain ethereal quality, something that had zeitgeist.

As an example, there's many, truly awful cars, that are cool. Same for bikes. And there's many truly excellent cars, that aren't in the slightest bit cool - same for bikes. Are you seeing theme developing there?

I agree with you, but it still don't make GT's any cooler IMO.

I'm glad we've got that settled then.

No problem - I can live with other people having a different opinion - even when it's wrong ;-)

Now, see - crazy? That's cool.

Sanity is such a drag... (kudos if anyone knows the band / track - without looking it up!)

Icehouse from their Man of Colours CD or Seal had a hit with Crazy. There are many others I'm sure.

The only one that matters: Aerosmith - Farm (from Nine Lives)...

what the hell is going on here...

first rule about being cool is you don't talk about being cool

so, GT has fallen back down to just 50%

uhoh

Coolness is in the eye of the beholder!!!

I think GTs are cool but others may not and thats just the way it is.
