I follow what you're saying for sure. I'm not advocating for 'on-trend' design
(I'm not actually sure what that would be in this context, contemporary
geometry aside.), but more… "Ok, so we built diamond frame bicycles because it
was (is) one of the strongest, lightest best ways given the materials at hand
(steel +/- alloy pipes). NOW we have new materials to work with. Can we do it
better? Why does it have to look like a diamond?"
If that makes sense…
