>>1572640>having a svelt, stylish beater is definitely a fashion/virtue statement.it could be fashionable, but not every fashionable things is poseurdom. Some trends come into fashion with legitimacy, others come in fashion with mindless trendsetting. There is consuming and consoooooming.
My personal 90s is done with serious budgeting and leftover parts, not saying you should do them with extreme budgeting , but overspending on NOS parts is kind of unsporty. "Ideally" parts from you first bike should come to your 90s meme until they fall apart. With a retrofitted 90s you actually get rediculous ROI as well of what you would get with a new hybrid bike.
Pic rel is not fauxemian imo - even tough it has expensive parts it looks like its being used with purpouse, but spending 100$ on a slick rene herse tire to have a commuter definetly is.
