As an owner of two super thicc downtube bikes I can say that they work but I didn't pick them one way or the other for their aesthetic. Though I can see a time coming when I get a nice lean steel FS bike to live the slim life for a while.
Presumably we got these giant down tubes to accommodate in-frame storage, which is another thing I have but didn't ask for or care about. I use it since it's there but I couldn't really care less about it or bottle cages.
