In the day and age of extravagant pricing everything needs to be one point and every faux pas* called into question.
Bike companies who cannot engineer a frame with a long seat post to fully hide a dropper and give the rider space. Faux pas.
Messy cable routing, poor internally guided cable (on carbon frames) or god forbid the unthinkable cables running under the BB. Faux pas.
Sure you may think this strong language screams entitlement but how about some pride in craftsmanship. Cutting corners and not owning or explaining them really gets my goat. At this point any company that wants 5-10 thousand dollars for an analog bike better demonstrate exemplary engineering and construction.
*embarrassing and tactless act.
