>>1561830>That bike is just too off to ever be a classicThe bicycle you intend on purchasing despite no one thinking it is a good value is too strange and undesirable to be of historical and collectible interest
> with the quill stem and shaped tubesBecause it has a combination of attributes that marks a transitional period in bike design, it is not emblematic of a coherent design philosophy or particularly noteworthy and lacks the essential character and zeitgeist that defines a classic.
>and not being a laserWhile pushing the limits of bike design is interesting, this bike does not represent that, but rather a half assed compromise between cutting edge design and not. It will always exist in the shadow the Cinelli Laser which will forever be the bike that has the zeitgeist of this era of bike design. This bike does not have the characteristics of a non-laser classic, nor does it have the revolutionary styling of the laser.
>it's less vintage and more just old with random parts.It is an ugly bike, is has random parts, even if it was a noteworthy frame it is not in collectable condition, it's not a classic, and it's just old.
I mean Anon, you're the retard that wants to buy it for the sole reason that spaghetti resonates with your soul. Why would you except people from a non-Italian website to value your national identity and heritage? It's pretty clear you already intend on buying this bike because it's italian, and you're not going to find many people here who agree with buying things because they're italian here. No one here can stop you from buying a meme bike, but it seems you're offended when people aren't merely sycophants and reassure you your national pride is genuine worth something.
